Our Head Coach at The Avenue Tennis Club is Sally Bentley, an LTA Accredited Plus coach, she has years of experience and training in Mini-Tennis, Disability Tennis, Cardio Tennis and Tennis for Adults, and was Middlesex LTA Coach of the Year 2016.
Sally works with a team of LTA qualified and experienced coaches and she trains her young players to be Tennis Leaders and encourages them to take their Level 1 coaching qualification as soon as they turn 16 years.
When Sally joined the club in 2009, we only ran one Adult Men’s Team, we now boast 2 Adult Men’s Team, 2 Ladies Adult teams and 10 Junior teams.
Private Lessons (often referred to as 1-2-1s)
The hourly rate is £35 - £40 but ask Sally for more details. You do not
have to have an hour, some juniors may have 30 or 45 minutes when they
start private lessons so do ask about those rates too.
If you are not a member of The Avenue Tennis Club you can ‘try before you buy’ and play once as a visitor, paying a £5 guest fee (Juniors and adults).
Cancellation
1-2-1 Lessons are paid on a pay as you go basis. If you cannot
make a lesson you need to inform the coach with a minimum of 24 hours’
notice so that they can replace the lesson with someone from their
waiting list. If you are unable to give this level of notice, please
offer the coaching fee at your next lesson.
Contact Sally
Sally is always available to discuss your coaching requirements, whether
for yourself or for your children, so please don't hesitate to contact
