Coaching
At Tennis Revolution we have 6 coaches. Head Coach and Owner, Simon Yapp, is a Lawn Tennis Association Level 3 Accredited Coach.
We also have Jamie and Jodi who are LTA Level 1 coaches. Jamie brings a wealth of tennis knowledge with him, from his playing days as a junior to adult and coaching alongside myself and at Thistle Tennis Club Edinburgh. Jodi is in her final year at West Lothian College, studying Sports Coaching and Development. Jodi has great experience working with young atheletes as she is currently also a Level2 Gymnastics coach.
Lauren has been with us since we came out of lockdown. She worked as an Early Years Practitioner for 5 years and also has experience with childrens football coaching for ages 3-8. Lauren is a valuable member of the team, I'd be lost without her! She is like a sponge and just absorbs everything she sees and hears. This allows me to confidently trust her with leading sessions.
Holly has recently joined us and she found a love for sport at a young age and would love to inspire the younger generation to take up a sport. Holly's background is Dance and Gymnastics, and is currently coaching within this area as well her tennis coaching with us. Holly has a natural bond with the players and they have grown to love having Holly as one of the coaches. Holly is keen to study for her LTA Level 1 and when a course becomes available in Scotland she will be enrolling on this.
Lucas is a player in our 11-16 year age group. Lucas is new to tennis but his has developed a love for the game and has come on massively in such a short time. Outside of the group lessons he can be found practising at least 3 times a week and his all round game is excellent. Lucas has aspirations of becoming a Primary School Teacher and is gaining valuable coaching experience working alongside us a couple days a week. He is growing in confidence every week and the players love having him around.
