Every court the academy teaches on belongs to a community centre rather than to us, which is why a change on their side shows up on ours first.
What is happening
Britannia’s outdoor courts are being re-lined. The work is scheduled around the centre’s own programming, and it means the Tuesday classes need a different meeting point for the weeks it runs.
What does not change
The time, the coach and the group. Families in the Tuesday Mini Tennis class meet inside the centre’s entrance instead of at the court gate; the class walks over together.
Why we teach in community centres at all
Because the alternative is a child who plays tennis in a place their family has to drive to. A class at the centre down the road is a class a family keeps. It also means the academy works alongside the associations and public bodies that run those centres, rather than around them.
If you are not sure which centre is yours, the venues page under Resources lists all five with the neighbourhood they serve.
