BLTSC provide a free coaching session on Wednesday evenings for new tennis members in their first year. On November 28th this session will taped and be a great chance for our Newbies to look at the progress they have made and get some feedback from coach, Adam Galloway.

To celebrate player’s progress, or dampen the blow (!), there will be a free drink to accompany the playback!

So, if you’re a new member this year, why not come along and enjoy a fun evening?As usual the session starts at 7pm and drinks will be directly afterwards at 8pm in our club bar

Christophe Tipy will be running the clinics: they are targeted at club standard players rather than beginners…

These group sessions are a great way to hone your technique, iron out any bad habits and understand what you SHOULD be doing!

Time: 7-8pm….. Cost  £7 member/ £9 non members

Great news- Christophe is back!!

Christophe worked at BLTSC previously whilst on a year sabbatical from his club in Paris. He was one of our most popular coaches and we are very pleased that he has decided to re-join Jason’s coaching team on a long term basis.

Christophe has vast array of experience coaching all standard of players. He has coached in Paris for 20 years. For 8 years he has been Head Coach of the Tennis Club of 13ème in Paris (600 members), he managed the team of 10 coaches and a very large, successful coaching program. Christophe competed at a high level as a junior player and has played in the French national league.

Motivation to coach: adjusting my approach for each player to inspire them to enjoy tennis regardless of age, ability and anything else!

We are delighted to add Thursday mornings to our member’s social play calendar!

All standards and ages are welcome to our free summer open day. It’s on Sunday 8th July from 10am to 1pm.

There’ll be a full program of events in tennis, squash and racketball. Even if you’ve never played before just come along with your trainers and we’ll provide the rackets and balls.

Our coaches will guide you to improve your game.

It’s completely free fun for all the family. There’s even a free bouncy castle for the young ones.

The bar will be open so if the exercise gives you a thirst you can enjoy a drink on the balcony.

The club is in Sandford Road less than half a mile from Bromley South Station. The postcode is BR2 9AN.

The club has 12 outdoor tennis courts, 2 indoors, and 3 squash courts. There’s also free wifi, BT Sport, pool and table tennis.

Sunday 8th July is the middle Sunday of Wimbledon so the weather’s bound to be glorious. However, if it’s raining we’ll be on the indoor courts.
