PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:-
2003 – present: Director of Tennis Coaching at the Riverside Sports and Leisure Club.

I operate under my own banner “Tennis Plus”. The Riverside sports and leisure health club acts as the main base for the Tennis Plus Academy's Performance Squads. Feeding into the squad program there are mini tennis satellite centres based in Highnam and Quedgeley which are supported by an extensive after school club program. There are currently 100+ juniors/adults enrolled on our programs with a further 150+ juniors playing at our outreach after school clubs. The Tennis Plus Programme caters for all ages and abilities of juniors allowing promising players to develop through the squad structure. Our team of coaches incorporate the Wegner method of modern tennis instruction into their coaching lessons.To compliment our coaching programme Tennis Plus arranges ample competitive opportunities both team and individual for our juniors. In addition to entering our juniors into the National Junior Club League (representing Gloucester LTC)
The “Tennis Plus” junior programme began at the Riverside in 2003 with less than 20 juniors, so the increase in Junior Tennis activity has been extremely encouraging. Furthermore our program has already helped develop a number of top county players and champions.
