Laura James

Laura is a professionally qualified and an Accredited + LTA Tennis Coach.

"I love that my players will have tennis as a sport they will be able to enjoy for life. I feel extremely lucky to love what I do."

I started playing tennis at the age of 2, with my Grandma throwing tennis balls to me in the garden. I went on to play to a county standard where I grew up playing in Bristol.​

​Upon moving to Devon I began assisting my tennis coach and loved it. I enjoyed working hard to gain my qualifications and in 2013 was chosen as one of the top 65 coaches in the UK and was invited to attend an incredible further training course through the LTA. In 2017 I was then asked to be the Ambassador for women and girls tennis in Devon, forming a team of 23 Ambassadors nationwide to work alongside Judy Murray to inspire more women and girls to teach and play tennis.​ One of my proudest acheivements and a programme I am so happy to be part of.

Whether you are looking to begin your tennis journey as a junior, are thinking about starting to play tennis as a new sport to enjoy, maybe you havent played tennis for a ling time and feel a little rusty or you are looking to further your skills, technique or tactics as an experienced player... please get in touch via the Contact Page.

I love that my players will have tennis as a sport they will be able to enjoy for life. I feel extremely lucky to love what I do.

I look forward to seeing you on court soon!  Laura
