Godfrey Evans :: Coaching Assistant - he has a similar qualification to Greg Spink (but under the old grading system). He is of National Veterans Standard and has played at Wimbledon. It is hoped that he will make himself available for more coaching sessions as the programme develops.

Dave Tanner :: Coaching Assistant (Juniors) - he too has a similar qualification to Greg Spink under the old grading system. He has played at County level and will undoubtedly be beneficial to improving the juniors' standard of play.

Gary Chorley :: Coaching Assistant (Juniors and Adults) - he is working towards improving his coaching qualifications. He has played at County level and can benefit the standard of play for both juniors and adults.

Andy Elliott :: Performance Coach - he has a similar qualification to Greg Spink under the old grading system and has played at County level. He is a recognized and valued performance coach in the area.

All coaches have been CRB checked at some point and those coaches whose check is not up to date are in the process of having their check updated.

The current team Members who attend on Mondays and Tuesdays during the Summer League Season will receive advice and assistance to improve their playing skills. This will be provided by Gary Chorley and Godfrey Evans.

Private coaching will still be available for individuals, which they can arrange direct with the Club Coaching Co-ordinator. These sessions will need to be paid for by the participants. Please email the club.

Fees for coaching sessions with the Performance Coach are between £20-£25 per hour. (To be confirmed).

Andy Elliott has kindly offered to help out periodically and has indicated he could run some tennis workshops during the year when requested. The Committee will review as to whether such workshops can be included within the Membership Subscription.

The above arrangements are intended to provide something for all members and give them the potential to develop their tennis skills and continued enjoyment of the game.
