First Rally
Beginner
Ages 5+ and adult starters. Grip, stance, basic rallies and scoring — everything taught through games, never lectures.
A Game With a Great History — Taught Properly
Our academy runs all year for juniors aged 5–17 and adults of every level.
Academy terms last eight weeks with one or two sessions per week. Groups are capped at six players so every rally gets a coach's eye. Technique, footwork, tactics and match play are layered in gradually — no standing in line, no guesswork about what to practice next.
Graduates feed directly into our club ladders and seasonal tournaments when they are ready.

Academy Questions
Does my child need their own racket?
No. Beginners borrow club rackets free for the whole first term. If you continue, our coaches will size the right racket and you can buy through the club shop advice — no pressure, no wrong purchases.
What if it rains?
Sessions move to covered footwork and tactics workshops, or shift to the next dry day. You never lose a paid session to weather — make-ups are scheduled within the same term.
Can adults join mid-term?
Yes, when space allows. A coach watches a short rally first, then places you in the right group and pro-rates the remaining weeks.
