It’s been a great start to 2026 with our tennis coaching classes back in full swing.
It’s not too late to get involved so if you have a child aged 3-18: send us a message here to enquire, as we have classes running every day of the week.
Not forgetting our adult programme which is as popular as ever, and gives every player a chance to improve and test themselves against others of a similar level.
Meanwhile, we have Irish international representatives at every age group and level, and it is with great joy that we can report that James McMillan has won the Irish National Indoor U16 singles title.
He triumphed in three sets down in Dublin today so congratulations also to Coach Carlos who takes James for lessons.
Whatever your goals are in tennis, just like seven of our courts in Winter, we have you covered.
