After such a successful 2023 coaching programme at St Mary’s we look forward to starting the New programme in March 2024. During the last season we have catered for a variety of players of differing ages and abilities. Players have progressed, had great fun and met New friends. The clay is a great surface to learn and play on and people have really embraced this wonderful surface. Small group coaching ( with limited players) has again proved very productive with several under 8 juniors ready to play their first LTA external tournaments next summer. We have also had some great 2 hour adult workshops, individual sessions and American tournaments.
For all coaching courses (adults & juniors) please follow this link.

Jo is a brilliant coach! My son warmed up to her pretty much straight away. He has gone from strength to strength under her guidance. She gives every child her undivided attention which is hard to come by. She emphasises smaller groups which is great for learning and child development. – Fahtima Baulch
Both my sons have had coaching from Jo from an early age and have progressed very well and she places importance on developing the correct technique from an early age. They both enjoy their tennis lessons and treat it as a main summer sport now. – K Williams
As an adult team player at a club I had been struggling with consistency. I was so lucky to have Jo as a coach for over 3 years in Wales. She has totally transformed my game. No more frustrations and the results are showing. Her commitment to detail and enabling improvement in my game has been so enhancing. – Mike Sherlock
My son Alex started tennis with Jo at the age of 6. I was so lucky to find Jo, by 8 Alex had won his first LTA tournament!
