During the last week of the Easter holidays, 19 Block 3, 4 and 5 tennis players travelled to Marbella, Spain, to 
participate in an intensive five day training course, in preparation for this year’s tennis season.
We stayed at a sports resort hotel, just outside Marbella, and had over three hours of tennis coaching each day, not including extra LTA ratings matches and organised fixtures against Spanish locals.
Everyone at Atalaya Park was very hospitable, and our teachers did a fantastic job organising various activities throughout the day, including beach football, swimming and mini golf.
There was a range of evening activities, from a mixed doubles games night, to late night shopping in Marbella, and we also participated in many tennis tournaments between everyone on the visit.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our time in Spain, and had great fun improving our tennis technique, skills, and match play. A huge thank you to Graeme Coulter, Helen Retter and Alan Wright for organising the visit, it was an amazing experience where we developed our tennis playing not only on hard courts, but also on Spanish clay.
