Our award-winning tennis coaching programme runs throughout the year, structured around school terms. This programme includes free coaching sessions for all members during school terms, along with additional pay-to-play squads for mini and junior members. Our adult and junior programmes operate to a single, common, ethos built around doubles play, which feeds into our adult teams.
Giffnock operates a 7-day per week coaching programme, branded as #TeamGiffnock. From teaching basic coordination skills through to developing players at national level, our talented team of coaches have a proven track record of delivering for everyone.
