Pocklington Tennis Academy www.pocklingtontennisacademy.com By Sean Evans - Head Coach There has been a great start to the new coaching programme; Good numbers on the junior programme, and exciting time with junior club-night being alongside junior coaching on a Monday evening Adult programme has been absolutely brilliant, Ladies Morning and Cardio have really taken off. EVERYONE NEEDS TO TRY CARDIO TENNIS! Ask friends who have been, it's so fun and good fitness! We have had so much demand that there will be a second cardio session provided during the week. Please remember to take advantage of your first private lesson discount. We are in the process of forging links in the Community through the schools Overall, I have loved my time at the club so far, had great support from the committee, and the members who attend coaching. The numbers have been good, and will only get better - so get talking to friends and bring them down for a trial session!!
