Mackintosh LTC – February Half Term Tennis Camps & Matchplay Day 2023

We are very pleased to be running 3 days of tennis camps and a matchplay day at Mackintosh LTC during the February Half Term.

Aimed at children aged 4-16 of all experience levels, the tennis camps are a brilliant way for your children to keep fit, have fun, improve their tennis and make new friends. With our enthusiastic team of LTA Accredited qualified coaches (all DBS checked, and First Aid trained) your children are guaranteed an amazing experience in a safe and well organised environment.

Competition is a vital element to your child’s learning and development in both tennis and life. The matchplay day will provide a great opportunity for your child to gain experience learning to play matches in a fun and relaxed environment.
