Coaching News
This year will be one of building and growing the coaching programme. There will be two additional drop in coaching sessions for the adults over the summer, these will be:

Tuesday Evening's: 6.30 - 7.30pm
Thursday Evening's: 6.30 - 7.30pm

JUNIORS
For Juniors there will be a more structured programme provided numbers warrant this; the Saturday afternoon sessions have been sparsley and intermittently attended (mostly due to poor weather). These will continue throughout the summer but be extended to two one hour sessions, hopefully reverting to the mornings. Currently sessions for the juniors over the summer will be:

2.00 - 3.00pm Mini's: Red and Orange
3.00 - 4.00pm Junior: Full Court

If times change, there will be a circular sent to all members and put up on the website.

I have been actively building the junior coaching programme in the village school and this should mean more juniors coming to play over the summer months. We have a full session with 20 children on a Thursday and this will be extended by running another session on Wednesday's to cope with the demand.

As many of you know I also coach at Horely Tennis Club where I run extensive Easter and Summer Camps for juniors of all ages. While it won't be possible to run an Easter Camp at Crawley Down, I am expecting to run a smaller programme over the summer.

I will have able support fom David Freeman over the coming year. David is just about to complete his degree in sports coaching from Manchester University and is in the process of completing his UKCC level 2 tennis coaching exams.

I expect that David will help me in running and managing many more junior tournaments over the summer months and in time, hopefully helping CDLTC enter teams into county and regional toiurnaments.
