Desert Springs Tennis, Paddle & Volley Academy

The Desert Springs Tennis Academy is located within the Sierra Sports and Fitness Club at the Desert Springs Resort. Resident LTA Qualified Tennis Professional Jim Gordon offers a comprehensive, personalised and professional service for adults and children, individuals, teams and clubs, all year round.

With its warm winter conditions, unique to this part of Europe, the tennis academy is particularly suited to Autumn, Winter and Spring pre-season training, general fitness and team bonding. Taken together with the other leisure and relaxation facilities at Desert Springs, it makes for a superb venue.

The Tennis Academy has two brand new tennis courts, two new paddle courts and a beach volley court. The tennis and paddle courts have top quality, Cushion Life, surfaces that give high bounce and add to the ease and pleasure of the game. The Academy offers digital coaching technology and first-class tuition, as well as the Polo Ralph Lauren Tennis clothing range for both Men and Women, equipment hire services and fitness centre.

And that is not all, The Day Spa @ Desert Springs, located in the Reserve Privée, next to the Golf Club House affords you the opportunity to indulge in some relaxing post-tennis beauty treatments, whilst the sauna and Jacuzzi will relieve those aches and pains!

Then there is the Gym, developed in consultation with Daley Thompson. Light and airy, this is a relaxed and pleasant place to tone up and is in no way a factory style gymnasium; the whole front opens up to take advantage of the warm dry climate. It is equipped with state of the art equipment from Star Trac, including treadmills, steppers, rowers, resistance equipment and weights, with plenty of space for floor work. The external exercise steps are just outside, as are Boxing Bob and Junior. For those, who prefer to exercise in complete privacy, there is also the aerobically equipped Private Individual Work Out Area in the Private Reserve facilities.

You can put your skills to the test at the regular tournaments and friendly matches that are organised by our Tennis Pro all year round. During the summer, the Tennis Academy hosts regular BBQ Quiz Nights and Celebrity Matches. The friendly and informal 'Tennis Roll Up', held twice a week affords you the opportunity to meet Jim Gordon and fellow players on a social basis.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a keen amateur or an up-and-coming club player, Desert Springs Tennis Academy will help you brush up your strokes in no time!
