Tennis

Aspria Royal La Rasante is one of Europe’s most outstanding tennis experiences, whether your focus is social or competitive, improving your service or your tactics.

At Aspria, we offer a dedicated Player Development Pathway System that caters for different ages and abilities, providing technique development, social tennis and competition in a sociable and fun setting. Members can advance through the three stages of the Pathway to develop their game: Aspria Learn, Play & Fun; Aspria Competition & Training; and the Aspria Adult tennis programme.

With seven outdoor courts (summer) and three covered ones (winter), our talented team of teachers is dedicated to improving tennis skills at all levels and ages. Intensive group and individual classes prepare members from beginners standard to club and inter-club competitions and tournaments, with regular activities throughout the year to strengthen play in a sociable setting. Whether you want a friendly volley at the weekend, want to improve your technique, or want to increase your control in match situations, our coaches can tailor their tuition to your goals.

Tennis is a great way to exercise as the constant moving about court, stretching to reach shots and changing of direction improves agility, flexibility and balance. The aerobic movement sees regular players becoming leaner, stronger and fitter, with a lower risk of heart disease, improved circulation and reduced blood pressure; it also improves co-ordination, increases focus and combines healthy competition with a social pastime.

For young players, our dedicated Academy programme offers the opportunity for 3–18 year-olds to progress their tennis skills with individual and group coaching. Developed by our team of tennis professionals and Paul Hutchins, the former Davis Cup player and Captain for Great Britain, the programme focuses on developing key skills at all stages of development, from promoting hand-eye co-ordination in our youngest members right up to improving tactical play to competition standard on holiday tennis courses for older players.

Meet Paul Hutchins MBE

A leading figure in the development of our Tennis Academy, Paul Hutchins MBE is a former Davis Cup player and Captain for Great Britain from 1975 to 1987.

As the longest serving British Davis Cup captain, he was in charge of 31 matches over 13 years, making his name for his management skills and diplomacy needed to handle some highly volatile players.

Paul subsequently set up his own tennis management, marketing and sponsorship company and worked closely with the LTA and the All England Club, setting up the Performance Club Programme to fund the best clubs in the UK and establishing the junior Road To Wimbledon scheme, which has seen 15,000 children participating.

Swimming

Aspria Royal La Rasante’s magnificent indoor training pool is the perfect place to work on your technique, whether on your own, with the family or in a group class.

Swimming is one of the most effective forms of exercise, as it strengthens muscles and the cardiovascular system while improving joint mobility and flexibility. As water is 12 times as dense as air, it supports the entire body’s weight and puts less pressure on your joints than other higher-impact activities. Swimming also allows you to exercise at your own pace, is more gentle in movement than other sports which results in fewer injuries, it supports breathing and helps you get a better night’s sleep.

For the serious swimmer, there is nothing to match the experience of long lengths in our 25m pool, while adults wishing to improve can opt for one of the aqua classes. They help burn 400-500 calories in each low-impact class, making them well-suited for mature members, pregnant women, or those recovering from accidents or surgery. We are also the first in Belgium to launch the innovative WATFIT fitness class on water, using yoga and pilates movements in an intense cardio session that builds muscle and core strength. Alternatively, you can simply relax with friends and family in our smaller indoor leisure pool, complete with blissfully comfortable sun loungers.

Children are well catered for at Aspria Royal La Rasante with a dedicated indoor pool and a host of Academy group swimming classes or individual lessons to build confidence, ability and technique. In fact, every year, more than 1000 children take to the water and learn to swim at our Aspria club.

All our group and individual swimming classes are accredited to an award scheme, ensuring juniors can develop their skills through the award-winning Academy programme for junior members.
