Coaching Opportunities
Jon Griffin:
Those who aspire to greater things may like to join one of the groups run by our L.T.A. Club coach, Jon Griffin. Since leaving a career in banking to take up full-time coaching, Jon has established such a wide following that he now has over 400 ‘clients’ - of all ages - on his books. The majority of his students are juniors, with 15 already achieving County-standard status and more on the way.
Jon is keen to stress that training - whatever the level - should also be enjoyable. Consequently, he offers facilities both on an individual and group basis for players of all ages and degrees of skill, with many relishing the lively ‘banter’ as much as the challenging prospect of trying to score an ace against him with a mighty first serve!
Every year, Jon hires local courts for 8-12 weeks. Coaching is in groups of approx 8 people of similar ability. Jon also runs Summer Tennis weeks at various venues and you can also join the Box Leagues which run throughout the year..
Anyone interested in coaching contact Jon; Mob: 07721 067581.
He runs several junior coaching sessions at local courts over the summer holidays
Endmoor Junior Coaching:
Alternatively, Endmoor Club runs Junior coaching on Saturday mornings in order to keep the upcoming talent, improving and challenging for honours in the local junior leagues. Anybody under the age of 16 is welcome to turn up and have a chat with Cath or Helen about joining in. Many of the juniors have developed into very able senior players who now occupy 1st mens and mixed team places.
Junior sessions start again in April 2010 (lookout for info on next newsletter)
