We are looking for a full programme of coaching for all skill levels and types of coaching with class sizes ranging from individuals to groups. We anticipate the weekly coaching demand to be about 80 hours. With the limitation of 6 courts, we must balance the use of courts for coaching with other needs of members. We foresee 2 courts being available for coaching 8am to 10am Saturdays and Sundays and on weekdays until 6pm. In addition, 1 court will be available for coaching Saturday and Sunday 10am to 2pm and some weekday evenings depending on demand of our members. We expect coaching will be available 52 weeks a year for both adult and junior members

The coaching programme will help players improve their tennis skills while providing a fun environment and encouraging beginners into the game. The membership has a range of competitiveness and ambition and the coaching program should appeal to all.

HLTC has a very engaged membership of 578 members and a waiting list of c200 (currently closed), reflecting its popularity.
