Wet Weather Arrangements

Occassionally the rain will affect the programme. In these cases it is best to be prepared and feel safe in the knowledge that you can bring your child to the programme regardless of conditions. This avoids frequent questions such as 'Will the session be on tonight?' or 'Do you think the lessons will be on at all this week?'


Option 1 - Building a toughness towards the conditions

We are lucky that the courts at Linton absorb rain well which means long periods of light to medium rain will not affect the session. Therefore if the session is in mid flow and rain starts to fall all sessions will continue unless severe/heavy rain disrupts the session and we feel the courts have become unsafe. In these cases we will endeavour to move indoors quickly and effectively to cause minimum disruption to the programme. Please
bring wet weather clothes to help when these conditions are present.

As tennis is predominantly an outdoor sport, it is important players get used to all conditions. The exception to this is younger red players, who we will be more likely to move inside in poorer weather.

Option 2 - Indoor Hall

Where possible we will go to the sports hall in the event of heavy rain. This will more than likely be tennis related activities thereby replicating what would have been taught outdoors or occassionally an exercise session involving a variety of skills.

If rain is heavy and there is no sign of a session on court, please come down to the sports centre to find us.

We will play in colder weather, so do please come prepared with lots of layers. We recommend wearing a hat in cold weather.
