Coaching questions

Do I need my own paddle?

No. Paddles and balls are provided at every session, and you are welcome to try a few before buying your own.

I have never played before. Which programme?

The Starter Programme. It assumes no experience at all and runs in groups of four so nobody feels watched.

Can I book a single session instead of a block?

Yes. Every rate is available as a single session, and blocks simply cost less per hour.

What happens if I miss a session in a block?

Tell us more than twenty-four hours ahead and the session moves to the end of your block at no cost.

Do you coach juniors?

Yes, from age eight, in dedicated junior groups with correctly sized paddles.
