"Alongside my role as head coach at Llanelli TSC, I also coach at Swansea Tennis Centre working with both development and high performance academy players who regularly compete in tournaments across the UK. As a player, I continue to ejoy competing in men's events across South Wales and the UK. One of my favourite tennis memories was competing at the National Finals at SW19 Wimbledon in 2024 where me and my doubles partner representing Wales finished runner up in the mens doubles event. 

As head coach of Llanelli TSC my aim is to ensure all children have an equal opportunity to play and enjoy tennis in a safe learning environment with the delivery of high-quality coaching lessons in the hope that children and adults will continue to play the sport we love to coach for years to come"

 

Phillip Walters (Assistant Coach)

  • Emergency First Aid at Work.

"As a tennis coach, I have worked with a wide range of players of all ages and abilities. I currently coach at Swansea Tennis Centre full-time working with both academy and development players looking to improve their tennis and take their game to the next level. 

I started playing tennis Age 6 in Canada and very quickly took to the game. Throughout my youth I would regularly compete in tournaments across Canada and the UK and enjoyed both the physical and mental benefits the sport brings. 

I am very much looking forward to help coach tennis lessons at Llanelli to children of all ages and abilities and hope to see you all on court very soon"
