Meet the Team

Our sessions are delivered by a team of independent, self-employed tennis and padel coaches who are all LTA qualified and LTA Accredited or Accredited+. This means every coach holds an up-to-date DBS check, first aid qualification, and safeguarding training.

Coaches with Accredited+ status commit to ongoing formal CPD throughout the year, and we also provide internal training, events and regular communication to support our coaches in delivering high-quality sessions and programmes for the benefit of our partner clubs.

Our Instructors and Coaches are all Level 2-4 LTA-qualified, and supported by a large team of Level 1 Coaching Assistants, and volunteer Tennis Leaders.
