Sherborne Tennis Academy | UK Summer Tennis Camps at Sherborne Girls School

A home from home

Players will stay in one of the modern boarding houses at Sherborne Girls School, fully equipped and full of home comforts including common room, private garden and its own designated dining room.

All meals will be provided and special dietary requirements can all be catered for. Players will stay in dormitory-style accommodation in groups of 4/5 with en-suite bathrooms. Players will need to bring their own towels but all bed linen, pillows and duvets are provided and laundered.

Qualified and professional team

The Course Director and LTA Accredited Coaches are all trained in first aid and safeguarding and have a full enhanced DBS clearance. The Course Director will be the Safeguarding Lead and has extensive experience of safeguarding policy and procedures and will take overall responsibility throughout the course.

Campus life

Participants will not be allowed off-campus unaccompanied and will be supervised at all times. There is a local shop close to the school and, as needed, participants will be allowed to visit in small supervised groups. Participants will not need any money other than perhaps for snacks/sweets/chocolate. We would suggest that they don’t bring more than £20, and they will remain responsible for the safe-keeping of their personal possessions.

Participants are welcome to bring their phones/devices but these will not be allowed to be used during coaching sessions or at meal times. There will be a “lights out” time set for different age groups and it is expected that devices will not be used after this time. Participants will have the option of handing in devices for safe-keeping overnight and during coaching sessions.

More than just tennis!

A full programme of evening activities will be provided and all players are expected to participate. This programme includes exclusive use of the swimming pool and indoor sports facilities at the Oxley Sports Centre as well as in-house activities in the boarding house.

A final night karaoke and disco will allow everyone to let their hair down before the final day tournament!
