Coaches Corner
Serve practice. It’s great when we see members out practicing their serve on their own. There will always be a benefit to hitting a basket of serves but can you make that practice even better?
Try to create some pressure on yourself to simulate match conditions. Few ideas
- How many times can you make three 1st serves in a row
- How many serves does it take you to hit one wide, one body, one T, on both boxes
- Where does the second bounce of the ball land…before the baseline, after the baseline or hits the fence

The aim of our body transformation is to help our members to reach their fitness goals with the help and support of our team.

We aim to introduce our younger members to the fundamentals of training and teach them a variety of Strength, Core and Cardio exercises and ensure they are performing these exercises correctly before beginning their own training. Our aim is for these members to leave with an understanding of training and the confidence and skills to perform these exercises themselves to help them improve performance, health and stay injury free.
These classes will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:15-5pm and each block will last 4 weeks. We aim to commence our first class on Tuesday the 21st of March.
The cost for 4 weeks is €100.
