Town Walls Tennis Club

Town Walls Announces New Head Coach

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Graham Hart as our new head coach.

Graham will oversee all aspects of coaching at our club, including adult coaching, junior development and competitive training.

At the end of last year, the committee appointed a coach recruitment panel to manage the recruitment process, including advertising for the role, undertaking interviews, carrying out on-court assessments and obtaining references.

Graham will take up the role on 1st April, and will work closely with the club to build a programme of coaching sessions to address the club’s coaching requirements. We envisage that, over time, this will include men’s and women’s drills, adult and junior beginners programmes, masters doubles courses and  cardio tennis.  Graham will bring an emphasis on technical development, tennis tactics and strategy, played in a fun and positive environment. 

Commenting on the appointment, our Chairman Jane Gibson said “We are delighted to welcome Graham to our club. His passion for the sport and dedication to developing players of all ages and abilities will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our tennis programme”.

To provide some personal background, Graham is, and will continue to be, head coach at Cound. He is LTA Level 2 accredited (the new Instructor qualification), has been playing tennis for 25 years and is currently in Cound’s Mens’ 1st team. He has played sport at a high level for many years, including being a professional BMX rider, a national league volleyball player and is a keen golfer. He and his partner are in the process of moving from Telford to Cound.
