Developing young talent

Kids playing racket sports at Duffield have fun while also developing a range of skills. They

One of our club’s main aims is to develop young tennis, squash and racketball players. Our licensed coaches provide structured, high-quality training programmes for ages 4 – 18. Sessions run after school and at weekends. We also encourage our youngsters to play in competitions and events as part of a club team or as individuals. Some of our youngsters also go on to develop their coaching and leadership skills, often as part of the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.
