Junior coaching is one of the Club's main priorities with mini tennis, regular Saturday and Sunday group coaching, weekday after school sessions and training of selected squads all the year round. Individual coaching is also encouraged and coaching for seniors is provided. The Club also has links with four local Primary Schools and is a centre for the Bearsden Community Tennis Partnership. It is also an LTA accredited Mini-Tennis Club.
In addition, the Club has a strong tradition of social tennis. Twice weekly 'organised' sessions take place on Wednesday evenings from 6.30 pm to 9.00 pm, (usually finishing with a carry-out in the Clubhouse) and on Saturday afternoons from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm with afternoon tea provided. There are also Wednesday and Friday mornings tennis - with coffee.
