BACK TO SCHOOL TENNIS AND SWIM ACADEMIES At The Campus, everyone is supported to achieve their dreams. That’s why they’ve created the Tennis Academy and the Swim Academy, especially to support and coach young people to succeed in their favourite sport. The Junior Academies are open to people from age 4 to 18 and focus on two crucial areas of training: development and performance. With expert coaching, members are taught to cultivate their passion for the sport, train with discipline and resilience and, above all, have fun.

JUNIOR GOLF CLUB Part of the Paul McGinley Academy, our Junior Golf Club is proud to welcome such ambitious and talented young golfers under its wing. Junior Club golfers benefit from weekly lessons all year round with the Academy golf pros, working toward goals to enter national and international tournaments, continually improving skill and posture with state-of-the-art technical analysis and, above all, are able to enjoy this great sport with friends. Children of all levels are welcome to join.
