Tavistock Tennis Club partnered with Top Bounce Tennis in 2024

Meet their team below:

Ben Knight - Owner/Managing Partner  - seen here with a bunch of members on the very soggy open day!

Ben is a very experienced LTA Level 4 coach who brings fun and enthusiasm onto our courts.
 

Rhys Dunford LTA Level 3 - plus Operations Director and Head of Tennis at Top Bounce

Here is what Rhys has to say about himself: 

"I started assisting with the coaching programme at Ivybridge when I was 14 and instantly loved being given the opportunity to help pass on my knowledge & passion for tennis to other people. I continued coaching throughout my teens alongside my busy training and tournament schedule which allowed me to share my experiences gained from playing tournaments with all the up and coming junior players I was involved with. 

Due to my playing background I am most at home supporting junior and adult players to get in to playing competitive matches and supporting players who already play in league teams or tournament tennis. 

My specialism is helping all competitive players improve their serve, doubles tactics and general confidence within game situations. This is done through both group and 1-1 coaching, so if you want to get more competitive with your tennis I am definitely a good choice of coach for you."

Top Bounce employ a number of qualified instructors that share Ben & Rhys enthusiasm for tennis, we regularly see James Jenning and Lisa Hutchins both LTA Level 2 coaches on our courts.

Tavistock Tennis Club also has other coaches that work on site at TTC with our permission. All of which abide by the clubs policies and LTA code of conduct.   Our coaches are LTA qualified and  certified in first aid and safeguarding.
