Hand eye coordination, movement, team work are all developed through plenty of fun drills and games, using small

develop their rallying skills. Session will run rain or shine.
Please note: The coach will pick up all children enrolled at 2pm from the pickup point at infant school and take
them to the tennis courts. He/she will ensure they eat their snack (please pack one) and change if necessary. You
would then need to pick up your child at 3.15pm from the tennis courts.
