The new junior tennis programme is under way at Albany Lawn Tennis Club for the summer season. Tennis coaching, competition and club practice sessions are all part of a weekly programme that is now operating 7 days a week and currently caters for over 120 children between the ages of 4 and 18. The club offers free taster sessions for beginners and a membership package that includes many weeks of coaching and competition programmes as part of the package. In addition, children can enter and compete in open club events and take lessons with the experienced professional tennis coaching team at the club. On Friday 27th May, Albany Lawn Tennis Club are holding an OPEN EVENING and would like to invite any adults that would like to try tennis perhaps for the first time or those that have not played for many years or those that play who would potentially like to join a club to join us for a casual taster tennis session.

In addition, there will be a 6 week adult’s fun coaching session starting on Friday 17th June.
