Why do I Coach at Wall Heath Tennis Club?
Wall Heath Tennis club is where I started playing tennis at the age of 8 and I continue to do so today. It's given me lots of happy memories and so many great friends. I want the Community of Wall Heath and surrounding areas to have the opportunities I have enjoyed.
The Tennis Programme
Please see the club's timetable for the week and in addition to this there are opportunities to book individual or group sessions. During the school holidays there are tennis and multi-sports camps run during the day.
