Club Programme Returns !
Club Programme Returns !
Following further advice from The LTA, doing a Club Safety Risk Assessment and trying a couple of “test sessions” to ensure that sessions could be delivered safely under Government Social Distancing, we are happy to announce that Abbeydale are bringing back The Club Adult Coaching Programme.
Due to existing member bookings we are restarting the sessions from Monday 22nd June 2020.
You will have noticed that the Summer Programme isn’t initially as large as the previous programmes, which is due to ensuring we can run “Safe Tennis” sessions in line with LTA guidelines and also due to currently being able to access outdoor courts only and trying to balance running a Club Programme alongside members wanting to play singles and doubles.
Once we have had a period of time running the new sessions and we are given permission to play both indoors and outdoors, we will keep increasing the programme up to full capacity.
The Summer Programme will include sessions for Cardio Tennis, Ladies Mornings, Mixed Coaching for Advanced / Intermediate and Beginners and Breakfast Tennis.
The other changes we have had to make are stricter restrictions on numbers of pupils per group, due to new LTA Coach / Pupil ratios. The new ratios for each session are publicised on each session booking sheet on ClubSpark.
We are aware we are currently the only local Club bringing back Group Coaching and while we find out together how successful these new look sessions will be, we would like to respectfully request that members initially book a maximum of two classes per week, just to allow all the members the opportunity to attend some sessions. Obviously if we find there is more capacity available, we will relax this request and open up more spaces.
All the Group sessions are now online and available to be booked in the normal way through ClubSpark.
