Junior Coaching

We pride ourselves on our friendly, relaxed approach and our warm welcome. Our coaching team is run by our Head Coach Colin Murphy and the team includes both female and male coaches. His approach is “play, don’t push” where the children learn in a fun and safe environment. We believe in nurturing the next generation of tennis players by offering mentorship, role models, and accessible entry points for young people — particularly through school partnerships, girls-only sessions, and junior-focused initiatives.
