Programme
Cancellations
Membership and squads can be cancelled at any time, there is no fixed tie-in period to these. I ask for 1 month’s notice to be able to put a stop on the payment. The same applies if you wish to permanently cancel an individual lesson slot.
If a lesson has to be cancelled because of bad weather or because a coach is ill or unable to attend the session then you will receive a refund for the session missed. This takes 5-10 days to be re-credited to your payment card.
I am a qualified RPT National Professional, a fully licensed, fully qualified LTA Level 4 coach and Licensed Referee.
I am fun, motivational and know how to get the best out of my players. I try to make all my lessons enjoyable, technical, knowledgeable and always with a competitive edge.
I run a variety of coaching sessions for all ages and run a restringing service please contact me. if you have any questions.
I joined First Service as an apprentice coach, and I am now a registered Level 2 coach.
I enjoy working with players, encouraging them, challenging them, and watching their progress. I always try to make sessions fun and positive. I love to play and compete at tennis, and enjoy passing on my passion for the game to others.
I am a fully insured Level 2 coach, and really enjoy working with younger players to develop their technique, skill and love of tennis. When I’m not coaching, I am a police officer and work within the local area. I’m keen to support my community, and am lucky my jobs allow me to do this.
I aim to encourage players to do their best and enjoy themselves whilst learning. I’m really pleased to be part of the First Service coaching team.
Schools Coaching
I run a very successful coaching programme within a number of schools across Essex, I run this with my team of fully qualified coaches and between us, we pride ourselves on finding new young talent and helping them get the very best out of their abilities and be the best tennis player they can be. This includes learning basic tennis skills and techniques, keeping fit whilst learning and having fun, and the children also enjoy learning through our many different tennis games.
