Tennis - Hurstpierpoint College

Training

Tennis is a popular sport for all pupils and is a games option all year round. The Tennis programme provides individual players the opportunity to train to high level utilising the 1-1 lessons, squad lessons and the games sessions throughout the year. Alongside this, the pupils participate in the Strength and Conditioning programme which enables them to receive a bespoke programme to train for Tennis. 

Additional specialist training takes place on Monday evenings and on Saturday mornings all year round.
