If you are new to tennis our Beginner classes are for you.  These sessions provide a way for adults to learn the basic skills of the game in a welcoming, dynamic and fun environment. The goal of this course is to give players the necessary skills to be able to rally with another player independently. Players who have completed the beginner course and feel ready to progress can move into the improver course where more advanced technique and tactics are covered. The Lifetime Tennis play and learn philosophy aims to get players into game play scenarios right from day one while also learning basic technique.

If you’ve completed a couple of Beginners courses and feel ready to progress this is a good bridging course for you to move onto before hitting the full Improver level course. The goal of this course is to up-skill your rallying abilities and reinforce all of the technique that you learned during a beginners course.  More gameplay scenarios are also covered, to get you familiar with playing point and eventually matches.

If you know the basics through completing some beginner courses (it normally takes at least 2 x’s 6 week beginners courses to be ready to move on to improver level) and/or have gained some playing experience and want to take your game to the next level then the Improver course is for you. To participate players need to be able to achieve rallies of 5 shots  or more with basic technical proficiency and be able to serve with consistency. Our Improvers course covers much of the same technical aspects as the Beginners course but allows you to put all the things you learnt in the Beginners class into practice within a more challenging environment. Topspin for groundstrokes is introduced and you will also learn more about reading the ball hit by your opponent early and responding efficiently. There is also an emphasis on developing your footwork to ensure you move in balanced efficient ways to help you develop greater control.

If you’ve completed the Improver Level course several times and feel that your rallying skills are now up to a level where you can hit with topsin consistently for 5-10 shots at a steady pace then you could look to move into this course.  This course covers much of the same technical aspects as the Improvers course but allows you to put all the things you covered in theImprover class into practice within a more challenging environment. This normally means returning faster paced balls and adding some speed to your own shots, without losing control. There is also an emphasis on developing your footwork to ensure you move in balanced efficient ways to help you develop greater control.

This course is designed for all those players that are ready to progress from the Improver Level course. If you now have a good foundation of the basic technique, are using the correct grips and can use them to rally consistently from the baseline for 5-10 shots at a good pace then this course is right for you. If you are new to our classes but have mastered the basics and can produce and return balls with good speed consistently then this is the course for you.

This is the highest level course we offer. If you play at a high level and produce good speed on your shots, can vary your pace and play with a variety of spins then this is the right course for you. If you aren’t sure, then you should definitely try the Intermediate course before progressing onto this session.
