Giffnock T.C. offers FREE club coaching to all mini-tennis members and junior members.  There is a variety of coaching on throughout the week for all ages and abilities.

Mondays is Junior Club Day…from 4.30 – 6pm you can enjoy playing matches with other junior members.  For current and aspiring junior team players, there will be Boys and Girls Team Training on Thursday evenings.

Giffnock is one of few clubs to offer specialist mini-tennis courts.  The smaller court size and net height contribute to positive learning experience for the young player.  On Wednesdays, Giffnock provides mini-tennis coaching to members and non-members.  There are two mini-red classes: 4-5pm (5-6yrs) and 5-6pm (7-8yrs).  Saturdays are for members only and again there are two classes: 2-3pm (5-6yrs) and 3-4pm (7-8yrs).  At these sessions children will learn the basic techniques and tactics of tennis, while having loads of Fun at the same time.  Starts Saturday 25th August.  

 

All mini-tennis sessions are free of charge to members.  If you are unsure on the most appropriate times for your child to attend, you are encouraged to call the coaching staff for advice.
