Answers to the most common questions about our coaching, camps and bookings. Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
What ages do you coach?
We coach children from age 3 right through to adults of all levels. Our kids programmes follow the LTA Youth pathway (Red, Orange, Green and Yellow Ball stages), and we offer adult group sessions, social tennis, and private and family lessons.
Where are your sessions held?
Our home court is St Luke's Gardens in Chelsea, and we run sessions across several venues in Kensington & Chelsea. We also coach on private residents' garden courts (such as Cadogan Place, Cadogan Square, Onslow Square, Belgrave Square, Warwick Square and Notting Hill Gate), where we bring a CTC coach to residents for lessons on their own court.
How do I book?
For our open group programmes, you can browse the live schedule and book online through our booking page. For private lessons, family lessons or coaching on a private garden court, message us on WhatsApp at +44 7799 577628 and we'll arrange it with you directly.
Do you offer a trial session?
Yes — we offer paid trial sessions. Please get in touch and we'll find a suitable session for your child to try before committing to a term.
What should my child bring and wear?
Comfortable sportswear and non-marking trainers, a water bottle, and weather-appropriate kit (a hat and sun cream in summer, warm layers in winter). We can provide rackets for younger children if needed.
Are your coaches qualified and DBS-checked?
Yes. Our coaching team is LTA-accredited, and all coaches working with children hold an enhanced DBS check and up-to-date safeguarding and first-aid training.
What happens if it rains or a session is cancelled?
If we need to cancel a session due to weather or circumstances beyond our control, we'll let you know as early as possible and offer a make-up session or arrange a credit. Please be advised that the all-weather courts at St Luke's Gardens are designed to cope with some rain — sessions will continue in rain and will only be cancelled if conditions are deemed unsafe. Please see our Terms & Conditions for full details.
What if my child misses a session?
We're unable to refund or carry over individual missed sessions.
Do you run holiday camps?
Yes — we run tennis holiday camps during school breaks, with half-day and full-day options. Dates are announced ahead of each holiday; check the schedule or get in touch.
How are payments handled?
Group programmes are booked and paid for through our booking platform. Private and family lessons are arranged directly. Pricing is confirmed at the time of booking.
