More than coaching. A pathway to develop, play and grow.

ELEVATE is the coaching programme I have developed to create a clear, player-centred approach to tennis development. From a child's first experience of movement and racket skills through to junior development, performance squads and adult coaching, the programme is designed to help every player develop, play and grow. 

Every player is different, but every player should have the opportunity to learn, develop and enjoy tennis in an environment that challenges and supports them.

My coaching focuses on developing the whole player. Technique is important, but tennis is much more than simply learning how to hit the ball. Players need to move, think, make decisions, solve problems, compete and develop confidence in their own game.

Every player develops differently.

My approach is to adapt the coaching environment to the player rather than expecting every player to learn in exactly the same way. Sessions are active, purposeful and designed around the age, ability and needs of the players on court.

Tennis is a game — so players need opportunities to play it.

Game-based activities, rallying, point play and competition are an important part of Elevate. Players are encouraged to explore, make decisions and learn through experience rather than simply following instructions.

Elevate provides coaching opportunities from a child's first experience of tennis through to development and performance squads.

Tots Tennis builds fundamental movement skills and introduces the game through play.

Hotshots & Mini Tennis develops rallying, movement and early tactical understanding using modified courts, balls and equipment.

Development & Performance Squads challenge committed players to develop their game, compete and perform under pressure.

Alongside the player pathway, Private Lessons, Adult Tennis Coaching, Tennis in Schools, Holiday Camps and Competition & Tournaments provide additional opportunities to learn, play and develop.

My aim is not simply to produce technically better tennis players.

I want players to become more confident, adaptable and independent on court. Players should understand their game, recognise situations and develop the skills to find solutions for themselves.

Whether a player is picking up a racket for the first time, returning to tennis, developing their game or looking to compete at a higher level, Elevate provides an environment designed to help them move forward.

Every player has their own journey. Elevate is about helping them take the next step.
