I have been involved in tennis from a young age and played as a county (Surrey) player throughout my teens. Having spent the last eight years based at the National Tennis Centre working for British Tennis in the Safeguarding Team, I have now found my way back to the tennis court. Since 2005, I have coached all ages and abilities but now focus my time on tots and mini reds. Surrey Little Rackets is now taking bookings for September 2018 in Pyrford and Jacobs Well.

Coach Accreditation is the LTA’s professional membership scheme for coaches. Being accredited ensures that a coach is qualified, insured and meets safe-to-practice standards, such as first aid and safeguarding training. An Accredited+ coach also commits to a minimum of 15 hours of professional development training each year.
Qualifications range from 1 to 5 and indicate the level of formally-assessed training a coach has completed. Coaches begin the LTA Qualification pathway at LTA Assistant (Level 1) and are able to train up to Master Coach (Level 5), the highest available LTA qualification. When choosing a coach we recommend taking into account qualifications, experience and ongoing CPD training, which can be seen in their 'Recently completed training courses' tab.
All coaches displayed on this tool are committed to delivering tennis to people of all backgrounds including disability, faith, gender identity, race, sex and sexual orientation.
