TIM PERRY. I’ve been a member of the club ever since I moved to Needingworth 30 years ago and my 3 children have all benefited from the coaching when they were young. I was proud to be a former Chairman of this wonderful club and have enjoyed playing league matches against other local teams. I have recently taken early retirement which has given me the time to complete my Level 2 Tennis coach qualification and the opportunity of sharing my passion for tennis.
KAZ TYERS. My family joined Needingworth Tennis Club in 2015. I hadn't played for many years and was extremely rusty! The club was so friendly and welcoming and after playing in some of the social sessions, I decided that I really wanted to improve my tennis. My children and I started attending some coaching sessions at the club which really helped improve our skills. I was encouraged to take my Level 2 Tennis coaching qualification to help enable the club to provide a range of coaching courses for children and adults. I'm very pleased to be part of the coaching team at Needingworth and I look forward to seeing you on court!
LIZZI FABISZ. I am a L2 LTA qualified coach with nearly 10 years experience. I was bought up in Needingworth surrounded by tennis with my dad also being a tennis coach and avid fan. My family spent most weekends at the tennis courts and we loved the bubbly, friendly community that came with it. I always loved the game and joined this with my passion for working with children to become a tennis coach. I now teach at the local primary school and love building a relationship between the two communities. Due to teaching commitments, I mainly coach holiday camps during the school breaks however you might catch me at the rare club night!
