Lets meet the team....
RYAN TRICKEY - HEAD COACH
My name is Ryan Trickey and I’m the Head Coach at Swanage Tennis Club. I’ve been in the coaching industry now for nearly 20 years coaching internationally from the U.S. to Australia. I have also coached around the U.K. most noticeably in Oxfordshire, Dorset and Hampshire. In my coaching career I have worked with all ages and ability levels from beginners to top ranked national ranked players.
I began my playing background as young as 3 years of age at St.Leonards & St.Ives Tennis Club. Since then, I reached Dorset champion at age 9, national schools tennis at 16 years old and went on to further education at Roehampton University Studying Sport & Exercise Sciences. Here, I became first team captain and coach for 2 years taking them to the regional finals.
I have very high hopes for Swanage Tennis Club and know that everyone that comes through the doors at Swanage will have some place in the programme. We encourage all ages levels and abilities to take part and hope everyone has fun on the programme.
If you have any questions or have any feedback on the previous coaching programme or have sessions you would like to see in the programme, then please don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll do my best to ensure your needs are met. See you on court soon!
PAUL MARCHANT - ASSISTANT COACH

I have had 6 years of coaching experience and work with Head Coach, Ryan Trickey primarily with children and beginners. My goals are to gain my level 4 coaching, cardio tennis qualifications and to assist Ryan in growing the clubs profile.
I followed in the footsteps of my father and sister playing tennis at the club from 5 years of age. I now play for both the mixed and men’s teams representing the club.
