I attended a one day clinic and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The coaching was absolutely excellent - Jack and Sam were very knowledgeable, personable and approachable and delivered a fun session at a good pace.\nOverall, it was a well-structured, enjoyable day and I came away with some really practical doubles tips to use in future matches. I’d highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking to improve their doubles game while enjoying a really fun day out on court.

This is your best option after an individual coaching session. My 1 day sessions are concentrated focus for 5 hours at half the price. You wont remember everything but you will have fun & leave a better player.

I have done several day clinics with Active Away and they just get better and better. You always learn something new to help your game. We had Joel, Ben and Megan and they were all fab! I’ve got post clinic blues today as I had such a fab day yesterday! I can’t wait for my next one which I’ve got booked in June and I’m definitely thinking about booking a holiday for next year!

My google review I have just left reads; I took part in the doubles weekend at David Lloyd West Bridgford in July 2025. As someone who plays a lot and is perhaps a higher intermediate standard, I was slightly concerned the course might not be technical or detailed enough for me. However I was delighted that the course content was excellent for all standards of players, the coaches were both superb and the facilities were also first rate. Highly recommended. (Please don’t use my name if you choose to use this)

This was my 3rd year on the 2 day clinic and would highly recommend to anyone playing regular club tennis and competitive doubles who is interested in improving their technical shot variety and doubles tactics. The new look programme was great, with more technical focus (thank you Jamie!) and the drills were really well worked - the Chip Lob in particular but also the Planned Poach. I was part of a group of 7 from Solihull and we all had a great time, the coaches were brilliant and able to tailor parts of the course when I needed them explaining a different way or adapting to my style of play. Lots for us to take home and practice in our matches, thank you!

I'm still buzzing from a one day tennis clinic yesterday in Nottingham. It exceeded expectations and as well as a cracking day, I genuinely felt a shift in my tennis confidence. Just the right level of coaching input across many hours with things I could implement straight away. A good laugh and very tiring with a warm, engaging coaching team. The lead coach Steve was superb and all his young coaches were the bees knees giving specific, personal support and tips. Love love loved it and saving already to go again soon

The course content is very well thought out and the drills relevant to the coaching points. Charlie (our host) was absolutely brilliant. Steve was also excellent and he and Charlie really synced together so that the delivery was smooth, effective and fun. All the coaches gave lots of individual feedback during the drills. I really enjoyed the 2 days of coaching and have learnt a great deal. Thank you Activeaway.

If you love and enjoy tennis then Active Away is for you! Their tennis doubles coaching programme is well designed with bite size theory, demos, drills and lots of incredibly useful and practical tips. They always make it great fun and inclusive by mixing up the groups, coaches and by including fun competitive elements like Dingles. They are really open to feedback and their programmes are constantly evolving. I am a repeat customer and have just come back from another incredibly enjoyable two day indoor tennis clinic in Nottingham and I also went on a fabulous all inclusive holiday to Corfu in October 2021. I have already booked to go to Turkey with Active Away in April 2022.

It's difficult to imagine how much we can learn from these guys in just a couple of days. The drills work equally whatever the standard - and showed me what a difference a simple adjustment in stance or approach makes to the end result. Putting it into practice and forgetting the bad habits will be the real challenge.

My doubles partner and I attended an Activeaway Clinic in Nottingham (David Lloyd West Bridgley) for the first time this weekend. We really didn’t know what to expect but were extremely impressed by the quality of coaching, the standard of the facilities and the professional yet extremely friendly and engaging nature of the Activeaway staff. We learnt so much that it would be easy to feel confused – however they backed up the coaching with hand outs and links to videos. I have absolutely no doubt that our game has improved and that we will return for either more weekend courses or a longer holiday – which many of our fellow participants had already been on and recommended. I have absolutely no hesitation in saying that you will not regret it if you attend one of these courses. Seriously good coaching and seriously good fun!!! Thank you Charlie, Josh, Jason, Ben and Steve. As Arnie would say – I’ll be back!!
