Adult Tennis Clinic — All Levels Welcome
Small-group coaching for adults who want to learn, improve, and play in a structured, friendly environment.
Whether you’ve never held a racquet, stepped away from the game years ago and want to return, or you’re a regular player looking to tighten your technique, there is a session designed for you.
Each session runs for 90 minutes and is led by a qualified tennis coach. Groups are kept small so that your coach can focus on the specific needs of each participant rather than running general drills from a distance. Sessions combine practice drills and match play — covering stroke technique, point construction, and both singles and doubles formats — so you develop your skills in the context of real tennis, not just isolated exercises.
This program suits adults who want to:
- Learn tennis properly in a welcoming, non-intimidating setting — no experience required
- Meet other people in the Ramsgate Beach, Monterey, Brighton-Le-Sands, and Kogarah area who enjoy sport
- Improve their game with structured coaching rather than just hitting around
- Find a regular weekly activity that is physically active and genuinely social
You don’t need to own a racquet. You don’t need a partner. And there’s no fitness level you need to reach before you start.
What Is the Adult Tennis Clinic — and Who Is It For?
The Adult Tennis Clinic is a coached group program where a small number of adults share court time under the guidance of a qualified tennis coach. It sits between private lessons (just you and a coach) and casual social play — you get structured coaching and genuine skill development, in a group setting that is more affordable and more social than individual sessions.
At Scarborough Park Sports Centre, each clinic session runs for 90 minutes and combines practice drills with match play. Your coach covers all strokes, individual technique corrections, and the tactical basics of constructing a point in both singles and doubles. Sessions are structured and repeatable — meaning you can return each week and build on what you did the week before, rather than starting from scratch every time.
It is designed for adults who are:
- Complete beginners who want a proper introduction to the sport
- Returning players who played socially or at school and want to get back on court
- Intermediate players who want to play more consistently and understand the game better
- Adults looking for a regular activity that combines exercise, skill development, and social connection
Wednesday Morning Clinic (90 Minutes)
Wednesday 10:30am–12:00pm
A mid-morning session well-suited to adults who have flexibility during the week. Practice drills and match play in a small group format, led by a qualified coach.
Thursday Evening Clinic (90 Minutes)
Thursday 6:00pm–7:30pm

What Our Players Say
Tennis is better when it’s shared. Here’s what the Scarborough Park community has to say about their experience on and off the court.
Why the Adult Tennis Clinic at Scarborough Park Works
Small groups mean real, individual feedback. Groups are deliberately kept small so that your coach can observe your technique, correct your stroke, and give you specific feedback every session — not just run general drills from a distance. The combination of practice drills and live match play means the feedback you receive is immediately applied in a real game context.
Levels are kept appropriate, so you are always challenged without being overwhelmed. The clinic format welcomes all ability levels, and your coach adjusts the instruction and match play scenarios to suit the participants in each session. Whether you’re building basic consistency or refining tactical shot selection, the session is shaped around where you actually are — not an assumed average.
It builds into a real community. Many adults who start at the Wednesday morning or Thursday evening clinic go on to join Social Tennis, enter the Tennis Competition, or continue through to private lessons for more focused development. There’s always a natural next step — and the same faces come back week after week.
Your first session is free. New players receive a free introductory session. Try it before you commit to anything — see the outdoor courts at Scarborough Park, meet the coach, and experience the clinic format with no obligation.
The facility offers more than just tennis. Scarborough Park Sports Centre at Hawthorne Street, Ramsgate Beach is a multi-sport facility offering Tennis, Pickleball, Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, Cardio Tennis, Social Tennis, School Holiday Camps, and Kids Tennis — all in one location. It’s a genuine community sports hub for the Ramsgate Beach area.
