A comprehensive guide to all our coaching, competitive and social tennis at the Avenue Lawn Tennis & Squash Club for the 2011 season. The Academy is run by Roger & Tracy Manvell and are well supported by 4 other LTA coaches. As with all L.T.A. coaches, we are checked by the criminal records bureau and carry a first aid certificate. We provide "quaIity coaching with qualified coaches".

There is a variety of events scheduled to give all players an opportunity to compete. A new on-line entry system to many events will make getting
involved much easier.

The benefits of a dynamic tennis academy can be seen through greater participation at all levels, many adult and junior students now engaged in Club & Team activities and an increase in Club memberships.

I hope this years Tennis Programme , whether coaching or competitive, has something to offer you.
