I coach in Kingston-Upon Thames at the YMCA Hawker Centre, where I manage and deliver the Hawker Tennis beginner and improver programme. This includes delivering group and private lessons, matchplay and holiday camps. I am an LTA Accredited Coach and completed my coaching qualifications in Australia. I was previously Head Coach at Ignite Tennis in Rochedale, Queensland and also coached at Aspire Tennis and was employed on a short term contract at the LTA in the Coach Development Team.

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.
