SATURDAY MORNING JUNIOR TENNIS COACHING
All junior members of Belmont Park enjoy attending Saturday morning coaching in Term 1 and Term 4 as part of their membership. The group sessions are 1 hour each, commencing at 9am, 10am and 11am.

The groups are based on age and ability as follows:

9.00am - 10.00am	Bronze	5 - 8 year olds
10.00am - 11.00am	Silver	9 - 12 year olds
11.00am - 12.00pm	Gold	12+ years

Please note that interclub juniors have their own coaching programme. The above coaching groups are for pre-interclub players.

If you are new to the club please speak to one of the coaches and we will ensure your child is placed in the best group for their ability so that they are learning with other children of a similar level. If our coaches feel your child is ready to move into a higher group, we would encourage this.

We also have new junior racquets in our Pro Shop if your child would like to upgrade their racquet. Please check out the Smash Tennis website or see Mark for advice on the best racquet for your child.

For children who are not yet members of the club we encourage you to pop along and join into one of the groups. It is lots of fun! We also have many junior racquets available at the club for you to borrow if you do not yet have one of your own. Any queries about Saturday morning coaching please contact Susan Edgson on susane@gullivers.co.nz.
