About Molly

Molly has played tennis since the aged of 4, and as a junior she played for county and also regional level.

" I started my career at the club I grew up playing at in Oxfordshire, helping out as an assistant coach and have since then completed my level 3 qualification. I also went on to become the Head Tennis Coach at a Mark Warner resort in Sardinia.

My next role as a tennis coach was at David Lloyd Health Club in Newbury where I was the Junior Tennis Professional. I then decided to go and travel around Australia for a few months where I also did some coaching along the Northern beaches in Sydney."
