Start with your reason for playing
A first racket should feel comfortable to hold and control. An expensive or specialist racket is not automatically a better beginner choice.
Make a practical plan
Ask the coach whether you can try a suitable racket before purchasing. Consider grip comfort and manageable weight rather than choosing only by colour or advertising.
What to confirm before joining
Confirm whether loan equipment is available for a trial. Ask about strings and grip replacement only after you understand your playing needs.
Your Sembakkam enquiry
This guide is for people considering Sembakkam, including players travelling from Sembakkam and surrounding neighbourhoods. If you previously attended Hasthinapuram, ask about the current Sembakkam and Chitlapakkam options. Mention this branch by name when you speak with the team, especially if you are comparing more than one location.
Use the enquiry link below to send your preferred branch and enquiry type. Add your preferred time and relevant group details so the team can discuss the right next step. A submitted enquiry does not reserve a court or confirm a membership; wait for the branch to confirm the current arrangement.
Bring these details to the conversation
- Trial equipment
- Grip comfort
- Manageable weight
- Replacement grip needs
A simple next step
Choose a primary day and an alternative, then contact the academy before making travel or payment plans. Ask for the current fee, what is included, how attendance works and the terms for changing a session. Keep the confirmed details for everyone involved, particularly when arranging a family visit or coordinating colleagues.
