We’re looking forward to welcoming your child(ren) to our forthcoming tennis camp.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call us on 01865 689754 or email us on hello@courtside.uk – we’d be pleased to help in any way we can.

Please note: this is a nut-free camp due to severe allergies – thank you for your co-operation.

Timings, drop-off and pick-up: 

• The camp starts at 10.00am and concludes each day at 4.00pm

• We allocate coaches in advance to look after children and, outside of these times we are busy preparing for the day, so parents please be responsible for children until at least 9.45am or no later than 4.15pm, unless you have registered for early drop-offs and late pick-ups with us

• Early drop-offs from 8.30am and late pick-ups until 5.30pm are available for a small fee. If you would like to take advantage of this service, please us let know by sending us an email or calling 01865 689754

• Each child must be 'checked out' with their registered parent/guardian (please notify one of the Premier Tennis team if someone else will be picking your child up on a particular day)

Site restrictions: 

• Our facility agreement includes use of the tennis courts, indoor gym or marquee (in the event of bad weather) and courtyard area.  We are not allowed, and are not insured, to use other parts of the school

• It is hard for children, many of whom know the school well, to understand that areas are out of bounds and we would appreciate your support in helping us reinforce this

• We remind them at the start of every day and it is paramount that the children respect this as the school is an open site that in holiday time has contractors passing through, occasionally with vehicles. Your child(ren)’s safety is the most important thing to us, so thank you for helping us in this regard

Contact:

• If you have any questions about the camp or would like to let us know anything about your child, please let the Head Coach know when you drop them off

• If, at any stage, you need to contact us or your child urgently during the camp, please phone the Premier Tennis office number on 01865 689754 and we will get a message through for you

What to bring:

• Racket: please bring a racket and PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR CHILD’S NAME ON THEIR RACKET

• Food: NOTE: WE RUN NUT FREE CAMPS PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY NUTS OR NUT BASED PRODUCTS AS WE OFTEN HAVE CAMPERS WITH NUT ALLERGIES. Please provide a packed lunch for your child, as well as some snacks for break time. The campers will be very active, so we recommend bananas or energy bars! FOR SAFETY REASONS, PLEASE NOTE THAT PREMIER TENNIS CANNOT PROVIDE ANY FOOD TO CHILDREN, AND WE ASK THAT CHILDREN DO NOT SHARE FOOD WITH ONE ANOTHER

• Drink: please provide a drink/water bottle for your child. Drinks can be topped up throughout the day at the water fountains

• Clothing: please wear suitable clothing.  In the warm weather, a sun hat is advised and sun cream is a must (please ensure this is applied before arriving on camp).  We strongly recommend good tennis shoes or trainers, t-shirt and shorts; for changing weather conditions, tracksuit top and bottoms are useful

In the event of sunny weather:

• Ensure that you send your child to camp with a sunhat

• Ensure that a water bottle is provided, that they can refill during the day 

• Ensure that sunscreen is applied before leaving for camp and that your child has a supply with them to reapply throughout the day 

• Your co-operation in helping us ensure your children remain safe in the sun would be much appreciated

Finally…

• Belongings: please take your child(ren)’s belongings home with you each day; we cannot be responsible for rackets, clothes, water bottles or lunchboxes left with us after your child has left, and will either donate items to charity or dispose of them

• Mobile phones: we would advise against mobile phones as we cannot be liable for loss or damage.  If they are brought onsite, this is at the risk of the owner, and they should not be used during tennis sessions please (other than in exceptional circumstances)

• Photography: please be aware we may take some photos and or video footage from time to time during the week to be used for marketing the services of Premier Tennis on both print and web based products

General Health:

• We ask that children only attend if they are feeling well and especially to stay at home if they have any contagious illness (most notably vomiting / diarrhoea bugs) and only to attend after 48hrs of being symptom free

• Our camps are fully inclusive and our coaches are skilled at adapting all content to the needs of campers. It is useful to know of any injury / impairment in advance so coaches have time to plan adaptions to make the camp super enjoyable
