Castleview Lawn Tennis Club - Coaching Program

Coaching at Castleview Lawn Tennis Club

Coaching at Castleview LTC is open to all members.  All group coaching is managed through the club. Individual coaching is arranged between “You” and the coach.

It is the Club’s goal to offer as much group coaching as the members demand. Coaching demand will be monitored closely and where the Committee observes increasing demand this will be filled with the necessary group coaching slots.
