Hylands Tennis Club is a welcoming, not-for-profit community tennis club in Hornchurch, Essex, dedicated to making tennis fun and accessible for children and young people aged 4 to 17.
Our Learn & Play Programme offers group tennis classes and private lessons for all playing levels, run by our coaching provider of choice, Jack Woollcott Tennis Academy. We use full-size and kid-sized courts, a sports hall, and floodlights to ensure a safe and friendly environment for every player.
- Programmes for all ages: Blue (4-6 years), Red (6-8 years), Orange (8-10 years), Green (10-14 years), and Yellow (14-17 years). Children are placed in groups based on ability, not just age.
- LTA Tennis for Kids: A fun starter course for beginners, packed with games and training drills. Parents are welcome to join in, and every child receives a tennis racket, balls, branded T-shirt, activity cards, lanyard, stickers, and a certificate. Sessions are £29.99 (+£5 P&P) and must be booked via the LTA website.
- Free trial sessions: Register for a free trial in our Learn & Play Programme, following LTA Youth guidelines.
- Holiday Tennis Camps: Organised during school holidays for children and young people of all ages. Sign up for notifications to stay informed about upcoming camps and events.
- Private Coaching: One-to-one or couples coaching available in 30, 45, or 60-minute sessions to help you improve your skills at your own pace.
- Competitions: Fun, friendly competitions held throughout the year to encourage social interaction, communication skills, and sportsmanship.
- Community Play Programme: Opportunities for everyone in the community to play at social days and events.
To participate, all members are asked to purchase a Season Access Pass (SAP) for £49 per season, renewed annually.
