Fund Objectives

Grow the numbers of adults and juniors on the coaching programme

The fund prioritises the growth of coaching programs for adults and juniors, aiming to increase participation and skill development among different age groups. By offering comprehensive coaching programs, the fund provides tailored instruction and training opportunities to help individuals enhance their skills, boost confidence, and foster a passion for tennis and padel sports. This objective focuses on creating a supportive and nurturing environment that encourages continuous growth and development among players of all ages.

Offer and increase both non-members pay and play usage and coaching opportunities

The fund targets the expansion of pay-and-play usage opportunities and coaching programs for both members and non-members. By diversifying and expanding access to the facilities, the aim is to make tennis and padel sports more accessible to a wider audience. This includes providing diverse coaching programs for individuals of all skill levels, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to engage in sports activities and improve their skills under professional guidance.

Retain and increase the number of participants at the venue

One of the key objectives of the fund is to retain and attract a higher number of participants to the playing venue. By offering enhanced facilities and engaging programs, the fund seeks to create an inviting and vibrant environment that encourages active participation in tennis and padel sports. The aim is to increase the retention rates of existing players while attracting new members to the venue, fostering a growing and diverse community of sports enthusiasts.

Provide covered or floodlit playing facilities

The fund aims to enhance the playing facilities by providing covered or floodlit amenities. This enhancement encourages year-round accessibility for the community, enabling individuals to enjoy tennis and padel sports regardless of weather conditions. By creating inclusive and weather-resistant playing areas, the fund seeks to promote regular engagement in sports activities and foster a sense of community among players.

Provide seamless booking of tennis courts and lessons through an online booking system

To enhance user experience and convenience, the fund aims to provide a seamless booking system for tennis courts and lessons through an online platform. This initiative streamlines the booking process, making it easier for members and non-members to access and reserve playing facilities and coaching sessions. By implementing an efficient online booking system, the fund enhances accessibility, efficiency, and overall user satisfaction, ensuring a hassle-free and convenient experience for all players and coaches.
