Junior Tennis Coaching

The junior tennis coaching programme at Edinburgh Leisure is recognised by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) as being second to none! Our structured pathway allows children to develop their skills in groups with players of similar age and ability and progress from beginner stage to regional and national standard. It’s not all about juniors. We also offer expert coaching for adults of all ages and abilities.

Our Junior Tennis programme follows a pathway ranging from pre-school to older teens. Junior classes are booked in blocks and managed via our coaching home portal. You can find descriptors of each of our junior coaching classes below.
