Players Returning After a Break

If you used to play at school, university or socially but have not been on court for some time, the group provides a structured way to rebuild timing, movement and confidence without feeling expected to perform at your previous level straight away.

Improver Players

You may already be able to rally and understand the basics of scoring but want more control, better positioning and greater consistency.

Sessions can help you develop the practical skills needed to play points with more purpose.

Intermediate Players

More established players can work on tactical awareness, shot selection, movement and point construction in a setting that still feels relaxed and social.

If you are completely new to the game, WITA’s beginner programme may be the more appropriate starting point.

Improvement is easier when players feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and trying new ideas.

WITA’s approach focuses on clear guidance, realistic progression and plenty of opportunities to apply skills in live situations.

Rather than spending the whole session on isolated drills, activities can progress into rallies, points and doubles situations. This helps players understand not only how to execute a shot, but when to use it.

The emphasis is on steady development rather than perfection. You can work at an appropriate pace while still being challenged enough to make progress.

You can learn more about WITA’s wider approach on the About Us page.

Regular group sessions are also an opportunity to meet other local players and become part of a welcoming playing community.

Many adults want to play more often but do not always have a regular partner. A group environment makes it easier to practise with different people, experience different playing styles and build connections that can lead to more opportunities outside scheduled sessions.

The atmosphere is friendly and purposeful, with enough structure to support improvement while keeping the experience enjoyable.

Players looking for additional social formats can also explore WITA’s Sunday adult social session or doubles drills.

Sessions are led by Ekow Yusuf Manly-Spain, an LTA Level 4 Senior Performance Coach with extensive experience in player development.

His background includes technical analysis, tactical development, biomechanics and sport-specific physical preparation, with experience supporting players from beginner level through to advanced competition.

That depth of experience allows each session to remain practical and adaptable, so players receive guidance that reflects their current level rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Players can also read WITA testimonials to learn more about other customers’ experiences.

Come dressed in comfortable sports clothing and suitable court footwear. Bring water and your racket if you have one.
