Our coaches
Marcin Tycner
Marcin is an experienced Level 4 coach currently working at Falcon Tennis Club in Morningside (and formerly Craiglockhart and Scone).
His passion for tennis and his desire and capacity to develop the coaching programme at Corstorphine were immediately apparent to us when we met him. We are confident that he will become a big asset to the club.
His main initial focus will be on the junior programme which will restart after the Easter holidays. A communication will be sent to juniors members in the next couple of weeks with further information including booking instructions. He intends to stick with similar session times to begin with - Wednesday afternoons, Friday afternoons and Sunday mornings.
Once he has settled in, he is also keen to develop adult coaching at the club for those who are interested.
