Adult Beginner & Improver Courses

WPTA have been running our Tennis Express beginners course for over 2 years and we have managed to get over 200 new players on court and into our weekly programme. The popularity of the course is based on its varied content, easy to follow teaching and the calm and patient approach from our WPTA coaching team.


WPTA FOCUS: Why Should I Start Playing Tennis?

At WPTA we think that playing tennis can make you very happy!


If you have ever wondered about learning to play tennis then now is a great time to start. Tennis is making a resurgence as a sport for adults owing that it is safe to play and doesn't require any specific COVID regulations and is great for your physical and mental wellbeing. Plus the recent success of Emma Radacanu at the US Open has swelled interest in playing tennis across the UK - go Emma!


Our WPTA Tennis Express 6 week beginner course aims to introduce players to the game in a friendly and easy to follow manner. These adult tennis courses are very social allowing players to mix in and meet similar interested local players. Tennis is also great exercise and can be played as a compliment to other fitness interests or part of a weekly exercise plan or goal.

These courses move players from green balls to yellow balls for faster play, and also introduce new techniques and tactics to try out.


Each course has a maximum of 6 players to one WPTA professional coach allowing more time to discuss your skills and receive feedback from your instructor.

I have loved playing tennis with WPTA and Scott has been an excellent teacher during my Improver tennis course. The content was really interesting, the exercises are fun to try and I had a really good workout each lesson - it was much more fun than the gym!
