DONCASTER, S. YORKSHIRE 1 Day TENNIS/SQUASH Stringer Certificated Course 6 September 2026
2026-09-06 09:30 - 16:30 (Europe/London) | Hilton Garden Inn, Doncaster Racecourse, Leger Way, Doncaster, DN2 6BB, United Kingdom
Located within the splendour of the Hilton Garden Hotel and with views over the famous Doncaster Racecourse, the Trophy Room provides a unique place for our Tennis/Squash Stringer 1 day course.
Suitable for all abilities, from complete beginners to those already stringing and wishing to enhance skills and knowledge and to achieve the UKRSA Tennis Stringer or Squash Stringer certification.
Note you will be selecting EITHER tennis or squash for the day. Attracts 6 CPD points for LTA tennis coaches if sufficient progress is made.
Manual and electronic machines will be available for your use. If you wish to use your own machine, there is plenty of room, just let UKRSA or your tutor know beforehand so that we can accommodate you.
The course fee includes UKRSA membership for the first year and access to the valuable Technical Forum where you can chat with other stringers.
Pre-course technical information will be emailed out in advance. No “final exam”, instead there is continual assessment of competence and effort. If all goes well, the certificates will be awarded at the end of the day.
Course starts at 9.30am and finishes at 4.30pm, with a short lunch break around midday. There won’t be formal breaks as such during the morning or afternoon session, so bring a drink or snack if you might get peckish as we work and feel free to pop to the bar next door to grab a coffee anytime. If you need to step out for some fresh air for a minute to clear your head (it can be mentally draining!), that’s fine too.
It is recommended that you bring a packed lunch for when we do have a break or make appropriate arrangements. The Hotel bar and restaurant will be open, but expect Hotel prices. Just a 5 minute walk away is the excellent Whitby’s Fish And Chips Restaurant/Take Away.
Free car parking is available on site. Drive towards the barrier and it will rise automatically for you.
Your tutor for the course is Darren Moore. Darren qualified in 2009, when he travelled many miles for training, without really thinking how he was going to get his newly purchased stringing machine home in a Lotus Elise! On the day, you’re likely to see that very same machine, though sadly Darren isn’t talking about the Lotus. Although Squash is Darren’s main interest, he can be persuaded to acknowledge the existence of other racket sports!
Darren and UKRSA look forward to welcoming you on the day. Places are limited to ensure the quality of the learning experience. Just click below to book your place now.
