Why Tennis?

If there was a sport which got you fit, helped you have loads of fun and make friends, even added years to your life, wouldn’t you like to try it?

Well there is, it’s called Tennis and we love it!

Tennis is such an amazing sport, it gives you such a great workout, works all the muscles, burns loads of calories and is such great fun you find yourself making friends on court.

We see kids develop much better focus and listening, they become more resilient, learn fair play, respect and teamwork and just love playing tennis with their friends.

And more than that, studies have found that tennis can extend your life more than any other sport, up to 9.7 years in fact, it’s not just the physical side but the sociable side that makes this such a life changing sport.

At TopShotTennis, all of our coaches are passionate about helping you get the most out of tennis. It’s why Coach Jonty gave up a career in Software Sales, to help others enjoy this great sport and all of our coaches join us because they genuinely love the sport and want to share it with others.

We’ve been running tennis for the community in Hendon since 2015, you can see some of the feedback on our tennis programmes here:

Venue

TopShotTennis is based at Middlesex University, which is Hendon’s premier sporting facility for serving tennis in Hendon and Mill Hill.

With one of the most amazing campuses for sport, Middlesex University have 3 floodlit carpet courts (very easy on the knees) a sports pavilion with changing rooms and showers and lots of other sporting facilities on site, you are more than welcome to have a tennis lesson here, or I can come to some courts of your choice or even courts at your home if you are fortunate to have them.

Whilst based at Middlesex University, Coach Jonty lives in Croxley Green in Hertfordshire, so if you need some tennis help in or around Croxley Green, Watford, Rickmansworth, etc we would be more than happy to help.
