Train with Chelmsford Tennis Academy this summer

Tennis racket and ball

Fun, friendly beginner coaching sessions are taking place on the tennis courts of Chelmsford this summer! The courses are designed to get more people playing tennis in a relaxed and welcoming environment. 

Beginning on Tuesday 2 June, the sessions at Lionmede Park will help participants develop new skills and build confidence over eight weeks. There are three categories available: 

  • 4.30-5.30pm: Under 9s sessions. Perfect for younger beginners, who will learn the sport through fun games and activities.
  • 5.30-6.30pm: Under 16s sessions. Ideal for junior players who want to start tennis or improve their rally and match skills. 
  • 6.30-7.30pm: Ladies only sessions. No experience needed to join these relaxed and supportive sessions with a coach from Chelmsford Tennis Academy.

Tennis and short tennis

Play tennis and short tennis at Riverside Leisure Centre, Chelmsford Sport and Athletics Centre (CSAC) and South Woodham Ferrers Leisure Centre (SWFLC).

Tennis is a fast-paced sport that really gets you moving. It is a great all-round workout, keeping your heart healthy, tones muscles and burns calories.

Short tennis is a specially adapted version of tennis. The court is shorter, the net and rackets smaller and the ball softer. It is perfect for children or if you want a slower pace.

Come down for fun, or challenge your partner to a match.

We also have tennis courts in some of our parks.
