All programmes are available for both Tennis AND Squash.
Wet Weather Policy
If it is raining on the day of your tennis lesson and you haven't had a phone call/email from us re-scheduling your lesson, your lesson will be going ahead indoors. We are very fortunate at Thorndon to have the use of the indoor squash courts. Players will use these courts and practice shadow techniques, hand-eye co-ordination and there is always plenty of fitness in order to ensure that players are fit and firing for those tennis matches.
