Vision
At Chais Sports, our vision is to build inclusive, high-quality pathways into sport and sports coaching that are accessible to everyone. We believe sport should be a gateway to growth, confidence, and lifelong enjoyment, regardless of age, background or skill level. By creating sustainable coaching routes and development programmes, we aim to empower individuals not only to engage in sport but also to reach their fullest potential within it. Our commitment is to nurture a love for sport and to open doors to rewarding opportunities, helping to build a vibrant, active community for the future.
Why Choose Chais Sports?
At Chais Sports, we understand that high-quality coaching is just one piece of the bigger picture. Our commitment goes beyond lessons—we aim to create a well-rounded experience that builds confidence, skill, and love for the game. Every month, we organise a free tournament inspired by the learning objectives of our Junior Coaching Programme. These events range from singles and doubles matches to team and family tournaments, introducing juniors to the excitement of competition in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Through these varied experiences, we help young players build resilience, teamwork, and a positive mindset, ensuring their development both as athletes and individuals.
Chais Sports Junior Coaching Programme
Our Junior Coaching Programme at Chais Sports is designed to provide young players with a professional, high-quality tennis experience that nurtures their growth in every aspect of the game. Each week, lessons are thoughtfully themed to promote steady, linear progression across all key areas of junior tennis development. From mastering fundamental skills like forehand, backhand, serve, and volley, to building tactical awareness, physical agility, and athletic conditioning, our programme ensures a comprehensive approach to learning. We also emphasise the importance of handling success and setbacks within a structured, supportive environment, helping young athletes build resilience and confidence on and off the court.
