Improve your Game
Feeling a bit rusty on the court? Whether you are a beginner, a novice or an ex-competitive player that hasn’t played for a while, then Rusty Rackets is for you.
Designed to improve your technical and tactical understanding, you will be amazed by how much you can improve your game, in just a short period of time.
Our experienced LTA Level 2, 3 & 4 Qualified coaches are here to help you meet your goals, through high-quality tuition that caters for individuals of varying abilities and experiences.
Improve your Fitness
Our specialist sessions let you enjoy tennis and keep fit – without even realising it’s exercise!
Our Rusty Racket sessions guarantee to boost your well-being, burn calories, improve your general health and bring a sociable element to your week. So, what are you waiting for?
For beginners and novices looking to combine exercise with some social time, our Rusty Rackets sessions are definitely for you.
Enjoy the social side
The strong social element of tennis is a major reason why many first decide to join.
Are you a local resident feeling hemmed in by the weekly ‘norm’, or perhaps you are a ‘DFL’ new to Margate, Broadstairs or the Kent coast?
Take the plunge and meet new people. Relish having fun, shared experiences in an active and vibrant tennis playing community!
Learn from scratch with your new buddies and even meet up and enjoy singles and doubles after the sessions while making long-lasting friendships.
Our head coach Gavid even met his future wife through our Rusty Rackets sessions, so who knows what can happen!
Unstructured court time
The hour of fun will quickly pass and for some of you it may not feel like enough. That’s why we give our new Rusty recruits some additional court time.
Practice your new skills, have a game with someone from your group or even practice your serve.
We will leave the balls out as long as you promise to look after them.
