We have a great coaching team at JTennis, with a variety of coaching styles designed to suit everyone. Whichever coach you choose, we can assure you that you will have fun, and develop your skills at the same time! We are very proud of the fact that several of our coaches joined Wigmore club as children themselves, developed a passion for tennis, and have gone on to gain their coaching qualifications and have opted to remain at JTennis. We hope that they can help us to inspire not just the next generation of tennis players, but the next generation of tennis coaches too.
