I had another great and fun day clinic. George and Matt were brilliant explaining technique and tactics and also suggesting areas you could personally work on. The new programme is excellent and a very logical extension to the previous programme. Already booked my next refresher clinic!

We had a great time at the David Lloyd Southampton clinic. The coaches gave us lots of helpful instruction on our game, which we can take away and use to improve our doubles match play. I'd recommend this to anyone who wishes to improve their doubles and have more fun playing tennis.

I joined a tennis clinic run by active away on the 3rd august at Southampton. A really great experience. Super ratio of coaches to players who really worked hard to ensure that they coached each person at their own level. Having attended a clinic before it was great to have different coaches who had different perspectives on my game and made me think that another clinic would be helpful rather than repetitive. A great advert for their tennis holidays.

You can't go wrong with a doubles tennis clinic. There will be loads for you whatever your level and you get to play loads and loads of tennis. An absolute godsend during this rainy winter in the UK. I'm planning on booking again just for the intense practice and to make sure that I've taken it all on board. Great value courses run by passionate and engaged coaches.

Following attending a one day course in January, I immediately booked to do the other day from the two day course a month later, the first course was that good. And before attending the second day, I worked with my doubles partner on adopting some of the core takeaways. Some of our club playing colleagues have commented that our improved court positioning is now making us a more difficult pair to play against. And I don't doubt that our newfound court craft has contributed to winning two rubbers in inter club matches in the last month we probably would not have previously. Whatever your ability, there is plenty in these courses to take your doubles game to new levels.

Loved my 4th Active Away Tennis 1 day clinic. Good demos, basket feeding and useful group drills with similar standard players, friendly experienced coaches and good post-clinic notes to remember key points. Exceptional good value for 5-6 hours high quality tennis coaching! Looking forward to my next clinic already for 2023!! And perhaps I ought to try one of their holidays abroad too!!
