Hi, my name is Sophie! I have been a coach since 2017 and love working with a variety of players. I have a keen interest in developing the psychological and physical side of the game and being a fully qualified Physiotherapist for 6 years gives me a unique insight into the biomechanics of tennis. My other keen interest is working with beginners or players returning to the game. Tennis is a fun and inclusive sport for everyone and helping people discover their love for tennis is a passion of mine

Tennis with a difference - a fun group fitness class aiming to increase heart rate and burn calories, while hitting as many tennis balls as possible.
A fun ad friendly way to introduce kids to tennis competitions at their local clubs. None of the serious scoring and the added bonus of playing with friends in a team.
A slowed down version of the game with a few rule changes; fun, inclusive and a fantastic way to stay active.

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.
