OLNEY TENNIS CLUB
Club Sessions
We are kicking off the Tuesday night sessions on April 6 so come along from 6.30pm for games and drinks. The other sessions are on Wednesday mornings and Sunday afternoons.
Coaching
Turn to tennis in 2010 by signing up for coaching. Nigel Willard, Olney’s head pro, offers a complete programme from 3 year old to adults. The young ones start at mini red, service box tennis, before moving into full court tennis. Yellow ball tennis starts at 10 years of age. Adults of any standard take note too – by taking a course each week you’ll soon be hooked by this fun and sociable sport that is good for fitness too!
