Coaching at Charlton Kings Tennis Place
Simon Thomas is the Head Coach and has recently been awarded Gloucestershire LTA Coach of the Year 2016. He leads the coaching programme and has been recognised for widening participation in tennis, using innovative ways to engage players and providing quality coaching through keeping up to date with all latest developments in coaching techniques.
Coaching is offered to junior players from school year 3 up until school year 10. We also cater for teenagers (age 15-18, school years 11-13) with our InBetweeners course. The course is designed to be a link to the adult programme and focuses on game play and tactics.
We also offer Adult Group coaching for complete beginners, Improvers, rusty returners and Intermediate players. We limit places to ensure a quality experience for those taking part.
Coaching equipment is provided and rackets are available for loan if required.
Simon Thomas LTA Licenced Coach will deliver the junior group sessions. Adult sessions are delivered by Simon Thomas and Liz Sim - LTA Registered Coach.
We also have a number of tennis assistants who help with group lessons, most of them we have trained trained ourselves and hold a tennis leaders award and some of them also have a coaching qualification.
Individual coaching is available by request - please note that coaching can only be provided by coaches approved by the club management. This is to ensure both the Club and School's quality standards and Health and Safety requirements are met.
