SLINFOLD TENNIS CLUB COACHES

ADULT COACHING

Peter Gawn Head Coach

Peter Gawn has been the head coach at Slinfold TC for many years. He runs a variety of different sessions during the week for individual members and groups depending on their skill and ability level and experience.

Peter has coached many individuals at Slinfold and built up quite a rapport with many members over the years. He also offers coaching to the club’s various team members who play competitively in the West Sussex leagues.

The Mixed Improvers group session for example on a Tuesday morning (10.30am to 12pm) for non-beginner adults requires a reasonable standard of play in order to practise drills, stroke techniques and match play tactics.  Peter is always happy to add new blood to his coaching sessions, so members can always bring a friend or non-member for a free taster. Please feel free to ask Peter for more details for any of these sessions.
