Rob Busby

Mobile: 07788 243132

• Level 3 accredited + tennis coach
• Level 2 Padel tennis coach

Rob started playing tennis at the age of 6 when he moved to The Bahamas with his family.  

On return to the UK as a junior Rob made the tricky decision to persue football  over tennis and had success playing for the county and also training with Southampton. Sadly injuries meant Rob was unable to follow this any further and this reignited his passion for tennis. 

Rob soon realised coaching was for him, helping others learn a sport he loves is something he is really passionate about. 

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to sharpen your skills for your next tournament, Rob has a passion to help you progress.
