WELCOME TO THE JUNIOR SECTION OF CHORLEY TENNIS CLUB.
Chorley Tennis Club highly values its junior members, warmly welcoming all newcomers and encouraging young players to join the seniors on court. It’s a great place to play tennis, whether you’re a junior who’s looking for a friendly introduction to the sport or a more advanced player seeking competitive play.
We will provide information about events and opportunities for juniors at the club during the season.
Chorley Tennis Club is based next to Chorley Cricket Club and is best accessed via the pathway from Walgarth Drive. The nearest postcode for the pathway is PR7 2QW.

JUNIOR COACHING
Our LTA licensed and fully qualified club coaches lead the coaching sessions taking place at Chorley Tennis Club. Coaching is available to all standards of player and is offered on a group and individual basis. By licensing through the LTA, our coaches ensure that their knowledge and skills are up-to-date and that they are aware of important changes and modern standards.
As well as regular coaching sessions, we intend to run Tennis Camps throughout school holidays as usual this year. For details please click here or contact our Head Coach John Chatterley on 07980 941 288 or chatterley3@msn.com
