From Friday 4th of September we will be resuming the supervised junior sessions for the Club’s younger players.

We have introduced a number of changes to make the sessions as safe as possible. The main differences from previous years are:

– The session runs from 6:15-7:15pm
– Booking in advance is required as numbers are limited
– Parents/guardians should provide a contact number
– Measures to ensure safe distance and hand hygiene
– A record of those attending will be kept for Test & Trace

Please read the risk assessment in full before signing up to the sessions.

To book a place in the sessions or for any queries, send an email to victor at girtontennisclub.uk.

Each course will have weekly one-hour sessions between 5-8 pm.

The cost of the complete course is £21.25 for members and £42.50 for non-members.

The courses run from 14th September to 19th October (6 weeks) then from 2nd November to 7th December (6 weeks).
