Tennis Coaching Lessons

NLC are delighted to be able to offer tennis sessions for all ages from 4 years old to adults.

In partnership with Tennis Scotland we are delivering our direct debit membership sessions in line with the LTA Youth Programme which further details of the session delivery for this can be seen at Tennis Lessons for Kids & Youth | Youth Programme | LTA.

Our Broadwood sessions are run in partnership with Cumbernauld Tennis Club to create a pathway from beginner level to club level Tennis.

You will see that every stage is different for our members to allow development at different stages of their tennis journey. We look to develop key motor skills in our sessions from an early age such as balance, coordination and also social skills.

In addition, we look to work on key skills of the game of tennis such as, forehand, volley, backhand and serve. We try to make our sessions all related to the game of tennis. Most importantly we want all participants of our sessions to have FUN!

Key points:

Although we've assigned ages to each stage, this is just a guide
We understand kids want to play in groups and with their friends, so whatever stage they start at, all kids will see progression
In every LTA Youth stage, kids will be active, having fun and developing skills!
