Coaching
Coaching opportunities will be held regularly throughout the summer season, please check the rink diary for dates and times, no need to register on diary just pop along... If you feel like you would benefit from some individual coaching, please contact John, Sarah or Roger to arrange..
Remember.... Practice, Practice, Practice... its very difficult to practice in a game situation, so pop down for a roll up & practice..... only practice one thing at a time, & if you have a preferred hand, forehand or backhand, use the other one...until you are equally comfortable on both.
Please click on the links below to bring up various coaching videos from beginner to advanced.. more will be added weekily..
