Can I book a private lesson at reception?
No. Park Sports approved coaches operate on a self-employed, independent basis and organise their own diaries.
How do I book private lessons?
Private coaching lessons can be arranged directly with independent coaches, approved by Park Sports. Please contact the self-employed coach of your choice directly via the coaches profile page. Simply review the coaching profiles and select your coach. You can contact them directly by completing the enquiry form. These coaches are responsible for managing and delivering individual and small group tennis or padel coaching sessions. Payments must be made in full, in advance and directly to your coach.
Can two or three people attend private lessons?
Yes, but you must let the coach know in advance. Coaches charge an additional fee of £5 for each additional person. The maximum number of people for small group private coaching is three.
How much does an individual lesson cost?
Prices depend on the venue and each coach's qualifications and experience. Prices include hourly court hire. Additional floodlight fees apply at certain times of the day.
How do I cancel my private lesson?
Self-employed coaches are responsible for managing and delivering individual and small group tennis or padel coaching sessions. You will need to contact your coach to cancel. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will incur the cost of the court, and your coach may also charge you for the missed or cancelled session.
What should I wear to play tennis?
Whites are for Wimbledon and while we all hope we can get there some day, we want you to bring your unique style to the court - the more colour the better!
Wearing the right shoes is really important though – having the wrong ones can hurt your feet and cause injury. Wear a comfortable pair of trainers - these will stop you from slipping and getting foot and ankle injuries.
When it comes to tennis kit, you can play in whatever you feel most comfortable in. Just remember you will be active – think t-shirts, shorts, tracksuit bottoms, sweatshirts.
Can I bring my own coach to the venue?
No. Only coaches who have a current Park Sports Coaching Agreement can coach at our venues. If you are found to be having a private lesson with a non-authorised coach, your coach will be asked to immediately leave the venue.
