Adult Tennis Lessons Edinburgh

"My partner and I have been coming to the beginner classes for almost a year now and we really love them.

Initially we only signed up as something to do through the winter and to get us out of the house on Sundays, but we will be continuing lessons through this Autumn also.

We had no tennis experience previously but now we also play outside lessons for fun as well and we are getting better all the time.

Lessons are a mix of technique, practice and games. I would recommend for adults wanting to try something new in a welcoming environment."

"As an absolute beginner this was a wonderful and fun introduction to the game. I signed up for beginner Sundays.

Finn delivers this coaching in playful bite size bits with lots of positive reinforcement and small adjustments to learn as you go. I loved learning along with other newbies and am thrilled to have finally started to learn to play tennis.

Highly recommend signing up!"

"I love my tennis classes with these guys! The coaches are so friendly, funny and helpful, and the other classmates have always been easy to get along with. I attend on my own and it's not intimidating at all.

I keep booking term after term because it's just been, and continues to be, so much fun :) Highly recommended."

"Love these sessions with a great group of people! Learn the technique and good fun as well - will be back for sure!"

"Attending the Edinburgh Tennis adult tennis groups for the last few months has done so much more for me than just reminding me how to play tennis.

The sessions are a massive mood booster for me, and from the smiles all around it seems so generally for everyone else in the groups.

Finn's presence is friendly and relaxed and his instructions are very clear and useful. Every player gets some tips based on their personal ability and we get to do practice drills mixed with fun games.

It's been the highlight of many of my weeks - thank you both Finn and Michael for doing such a fantastic job."

"I have never played tennis before in my life but have always been interested to try it and learn it right.

Finn was my coach and he is super friendly and entertaining and also very welcoming to beginners so I had nothing to worry about!

It's also interesting how they teach us to play outdoors no matter the weather, rain or shine! I made a couple new friends too - definitely recommend to all adult beginners."

"Michael has been an excellent coach and a top lad!

I had so much fun attending the courses and meeting new people.

I have taken a few coaching lessons from other coaches, however; with Michael I was able to feel the most comfortable."

"I'm an adult player, recently returned to the game after around 20 years. I have really enjoyed the sessions with Michael.

I have found the lessons really accessible and fun, and Michael is really flexible as an organiser and coach. There are usually another 1 or 2 other coaches there on the day too, so there is lots of opportunity for feedback. Would highly recommend."

"I'm thoroughly enjoying the Sunday evening beginner and improver classes at the Meadows with Micheal and Finn. A lot of fun and I'm amazed how much I've improved already!"

"I am incredibly passionate about tennis so wherever I go for work or pleasure I try to fit in as much tennis as possible.

I happened to be in Edinburgh briefly for about a week or so and Michael kindly and promptly answered my SOS. Michael invited me to an adult group session and I had such a good, fun evening with a great group of people.

I highly recommend you reaching out to Michael and Finn. I'll 100% go back again for another session the next time I'm back in Edinburgh."

"I am at beginner tennis level and have been playing recreationally on and off before. I attended Michael's lessons with the goal to improve and learn technique. Within a short period of time I have learned to serve, improved my forehand, backhand and learned to slice. This has been achieved by his clever step-by-step approach intertwined with motivational aspects of the game and even the addition of some tactical advice to the game. The lessons have far exceeded my expectations in advancing my skills and most importantly been a lot of fun. I can highly recommend it!"

"The lessons given by Michael are exceptional. He has an impressive attention to detail combined with endless patience and a really fantastic ability to explain things helpfully. By the end of every lesson I've managed to make a noticeable improvement in whatever we've been working on together. I can't recommend him highly enough."

"I took advantage of one of Michael's adult intensive courses during the summer holidays and can thoroughly recommend working with him and his team.

As a teacher myself, I was impressed with how well structured each session was and how each activity helped me improve my tennis as well as being incredibly enjoyable. Each session had a clear aim and included both technical training and match practice.

Michael creates a friendly yet professional atmosphere and builds confidence through praise but is quick to point out errors you are making and offer advice on how to correct this. I had great fun and the improvements were clear for everybody who attended, judging by the rallies that I and others were having at the end of the week."

"Following a 10 year tennis playing hiatus, I reached out to Michael to brush up on my social tennis skills.

He is a really good communicator, has a great understanding of the game and makes the technical side of tennis easy to understand. He mixes up what we cover in our sessions (from techniques to match playing tips) which keeps the lessons fun. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

"Michael put me at ease and showed me the basics of tennis in a friendly and fun way. I haven't played tennis before so it makes learning the sport much easier."
