Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I drop off /pick up my child at a camp?

Look out for the Annabel Croft Tennis Academy banner, and also for our staff who will make it very clear where the registration point is at every venue. Drop off and pick up will be at this point every day.

What should my child bring?

Your child is welcome to bring his or her own tennis racket. However we will provide rackets and all coaching equipment needed for each session. At most camps, swimming is an option, and we will let you know on Monday which day your child needs to bring their kit.

Will you provide lunch for my child?

Lunch will not be provided at any of the venues, please send your child with a packed lunch.

What should my child wear?

Every child should wear appropriate clothing for outdoor tennis (tracksuits with shorts if the weather is good) If the weather is poor, sessions will take place indoors, so there is no need to send your child with a rain jacket.

Will you provide drinks and snacks?

Yes. However you are welcome to send your child with their own.

Will you provide sun cream?

No, we can't apply sun screen to all children. Please send the appropriate factor with your child and we will remind them throughout the day to apply it.

If I want to know how my child is getting on at a camp, what do I do?

You can call our office phone number at any time during camp hours to find out how your child is. We’ll call the camp manager and report back to you.

If the information you are looking for is not here then please do not hesitate to contact the office.

Office hours: 9.30am - 5.30pm, Monday - Friday
