Coaching

Reach your potential whatever your age or ability

Coaching at Duffield

Racket coaching sessions will help you get more out of your game and help you in achieving your goals, whether you want to learn the basics of the game, raise your general level of play or make faster progress through the leagues.

More specifically, we can help you improve aspects of your game such as:

  • fitness levels
  • speed, agility, balance or coordination
  • tactical awareness
  • technical or strategic play

For details of regular group coaching sessions, see our Tennis and Squash pages.
