Meet the Coach

 

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Head Coach at the club. Officially starting on the 9th of August.  

 

I bring over 30 years of experience in both competitive play and coaching. I am an LTA Level 4 Accredited plus Coach, and I work with players of all levels—from beginners to advanced competitors. Whether you're interested in individual sessions, group coaching, tots tennis, or cardio tennis, there’s something here for everyone.

 

I believe tennis offers more than just physical benefits—it teaches valuable life lessons and has a positive impact on mental well-being too.

 

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. I’m always happy to help. You can reach me at 07443764460.
