A lodge in Woburn Forest from Friday to Monday. In the middle of it, serious tennis: small groups, matched strictly by level, a coach-to-player ratio built for real attention. The pools, the forest, the long unhurried gaps between sessions, yours to spend as you please.
This is where it starts. It goes considerably further from here.
The Programme ↓
The inaugural Courted event. The Long Table on Saturday, every guest at one table, seats drawn by lot. The Founding Cup on Sunday, played to a finish.
Come for the tennis, stay for the company.
The Programme
Sessions run in waves, streamed strictly by level, so you always play with and against your own standard. Groups stay small and the coach-to-player ratio is deliberately generous: real attention, not a queue for the ball machine. Nobody warms a bench, and between waves the resort is yours.
Friday
Arrive at leisure. Welcome drinks, first introductions, and dinner for those already in.
Saturday
Serves, returns, and the two shots that follow them. Own the start of the point and the rest tends to follow.
Volleys, transitions and doubles positioning, finished with the Engine Room, twenty minutes of high-tempo cardio tennis that will settle several scores.
One dinner, every guest, seats drawn by lot.
Sunday
Footwork, movement, and turning defence into attack. The unglamorous things that win the glamorous points.
The closing tournament, drawn on the day and played to a finish. A trophy, a prize, and the photographs that will follow us around for years.
One-to-one sessions are charged separately, at member rates, and booked directly with the coaches on the weekend. The programme above is indicative and will be confirmed in final form by our head coach nearer the date.
How We Coach
Sessions led by our three coaches, Nitish, Sal and Hannah, streamed strictly by level, intermediate and advanced throughout.
Games-based warm-ups, maximum time on the ball, and every block ends live: real points played from set scenarios.
Bookable on site between sessions: a full hour, one coach, whatever you most want to fix.
The Details
Your place, all in
£575 / person
Based on shared occupancy.
A single room carries a £175 supplement.
The lodge is booked as a full Friday, Saturday and Sunday block. Most will arrive Friday evening and leave Sunday evening; some will come Saturday morning or stay through Monday. Come and go as your weekend allows.
Other meals, the spa, and one-to-one coaching are charged separately.
Car pooling from London is being arranged; otherwise travel is your own to organise.
Courted membership begins after the weekend. The inaugural event stands alone; the club it launches does not.
The Company You'll Keep
Every Courted room is chosen, never assembled. Guests are selected for their tennis and for their company, so a weekend that opens among strangers closes as anything but.
This is the first of a calendar that will run through England, Europe, the Middle East and further still, and the people who play the first will always have first refusal on what follows.
The list is short, and has been considerately drawn up.
Reserve Your Place
Places are held in the order replies arrive, and we expect the weekend to be spoken for well before September. If it appeals, say so early. If it does not, tell us plainly, someone will be glad of your place.
