Carl Douglas Coaching

Coach Carl here, an experienced award winning coach (Suffolk LTA Coach of the year on three occasions 2018, 2020 and 2024). I've had many great moments through my coaching career but my proudest moment was being selected as one of the official Torch bearers at the London 2012 Olympics (more on that story here).

As an LTA Accredited coach and Pickleball England Club Instructor you can be assured that I'm fully qualified to teach both sports, DBS certified, Safeguard and First Aid trained and complete regular CPD to keep my skills up to date with the latest best practice. My main venues are Bramford Tennis Club and The Coddenham Centre

For junior players we have developed our own unique Rally Awards Roadmap making it easy for kids and parents to understand their progress. Rewards in the form of certificates are given as kids progress through the roadmap.

For Adults we run programmes including LTA Ladies Pair and Play, LTA Cardio Tennis and LTA Tennis Xpress. Social tennis events are also organised on an ad-hoc basis during the season.

On top of all the group coaching we also offer individual 1:1 coaching to both junior and adult players, in particular for those players who are eager to accelerate their development or those preparing for or taking part in competetive tennis.
