Tennis lessons for everyone
At East Glos, tennis coaching is much more than just teaching you forehands and backhands.
Whatever your level, we’ll work with you to identify what you want to achieve and tailor the sessions to meet your needs.
Tennis lessons are open to everyone, including non-members, from our team of highly experienced, LTA-qualified coaches.
Meet our coaches below, then please contact them directly for an informal chat about your needs.
Small group coaching: Learn with friends
If you’d like to learn in a small group our rates per person per hour are: £20 each for two people, £15 each for three and £10 each for four.
A lesson under lights is an additional £2.40. There is no charge after 8pm. For non-members there is an additional £6 visitor fee per person per lesson payable at reception.
The rates shown above and below are indicative. They are payable to the coach and should be confirmed with them.
