Beach Tennis Brighton & Hove - Game Set Beach

Game Set Beach is a beach-tennis facility on the Western Esplanade in Hove, with sessions played on sand courts beside the coast. The programme is centred on coached practice, guided matchplay and organised club play, creating a structured way to learn the sport, improve technique and take part in competitive rallies.

Sessions are available for all playing levels. Beginners can start with the fundamentals, including basic and advanced racket shots, while more experienced players can work on technique, tactics and match situations. Coached matchplay provides a bridge between practice and games, with instruction included as players develop their understanding of positioning, timing and point construction.

The venue also offers junior beach-tennis sessions divided into two age groups, covering children aged nine to twelve and teenagers aged thirteen to sixteen. These sessions run in four-week blocks, giving younger players a consistent introduction to the sport and a chance to build skills over several weeks.

Adult programming includes coached sessions, coached matchplay and an Americano-style club night. The format suits players looking for exercise, racket-sport practice or a social way to play on the beach. The club-night format adds a more game-focused element, while the coached sessions provide guidance for players who want a clearer training structure.

Game Set Beach has a strong coaching focus, led by a coach with extensive racket-sports experience and a background in badminton and beach-tennis competition. Instruction is intended to identify areas for improvement while helping players refine existing strengths. The all-level format keeps the sessions accessible to newcomers, with separate grading available for players seeking intermediate or advanced-level activity.

The setting gives the venue a distinctly outdoor, active character. Sand-court play makes beach tennis more physical than a conventional racket-sport session, combining movement, balance and quick reactions with doubles-style teamwork. Game Set Beach suits adults, juniors, beginners, regular racket-sport players and groups of mixed ability looking for organised activity by the Hove seafront.
