Club Coach


The role will be part time to start with. The coaching team will help you to build your hours with juniors and adults from beginner to top club level, groups and individual lessons (appropriate qualifications, training and experience required), holiday camps, tournaments and event organising. Some schools work is a possibility.
Ideally a Level 3 but could be right for a Level 2 who is a strong player willing to learn from the team and looking to get their Level 3.
Our coaching philosophy is based on 'Tennis 4 Life' - helping players to develop skills for an enjoyable life-long tennis journey, skills for life through learning to manage the challenges that tennis provides and having tennis as a key ingredient to their health and wellbeing.
Our aim is to help to create a fun Learn-Train-Compete environment for everyone at the club.
The club is run by a volunteer committee who are very supportive of the coaching team and is situated in a lovely public gardens setting. We have two clay courts, five floodlit astroturf and a modern clubhouse.

Professional, good communicator, genuinely patient and caring on court as building confidence with the players is a key value for the coaching team.
