Junior Holiday Camps

School holidays are a perfect way to enrol your child on our Holiday Camp Programme where we have a host of junior activities available for all active children. Our camps are adapted to cater for all standards of tennis from complete beginner to the next budding Andy Murray! We coach on all aspects of the game including match play, games and prizes, ensuring the main theme is always – to have fun! Our camps are an opportunity for children to learn whilst engaging with other children in a safe and fun packed environment.

JRWTennis put holiday camp programs together for all ages and abilities in the school holiday periods. Camps are divided into, Junior, Adult and Performance camps. These camps are perfect for children able to spend the morning, afternoon or both with us. All they need to bring is their packed lunch! We provide all equipment needed to enjoy fun tennis and games. Juniors and adults will need appropriate clothing and shoes which is not provided at camp.

Junior camps provide a great social environment for the kids, and allows us to start teaching the fundamentals of playing tennis in a safe and secure environment. Please visit James’ website HERE for more information!
