Tennis for Girls
I am an LTA qualified tennis coach working with Jarrett Tennis School based at St. John’s Tennis Club in Tunbridge wells. I am passionate about the importance of girls being active, happy, and making new friends through fun team games and activities on court.
I will be running a 6-week beginner course on Wednesdays and Saturdays for girls-only (aged 4-8 years old) who have never tried tennis before called Prime Video LTA Youth Girls Intro Course. Starting on Wednesday 6th November at 5pm, and Saturday 9th November at 10.30am at St John’s Tennis Club. Each girl who signs up for the course will receive a free tennis racket, tennis balls, a T-shirt and wrist bands in the post prior the sessions, so they are able to practice as much as they like.
Prime Video LTA Youth Girls is a junior tennis coaching programme designed to inspire thousands of girls to pick up a racket and try tennis for the first time. Funded by the reinvestment of Prime Video’s US Open broadcast fees from Emma Raducanu's historic 2021 final - the programme focuses on creating an environment that motivates girls to enjoy and stay in tennis by giving them the chance to play with friends in a pressure free setting.
