Coaches 2025 Report

Now in my eight year as head coach, it's great to reflect on whats been another fantastic year for the club with the highlights being;

• Club creates a fantastic partnership with Bright Ideas for Tennis which saw the creation of a weekly session for Bramfield House School and a wonderful day of coaching and matchplay on our Charity Day in September with plenty raised for further coaching for Bramfield in the new year.

• Junior members progressing nicely, from Fin and Linus bossing the men's doubles leagues to future stars like Felix whom this year was selected for the Suffolk County 10&U Development squad.

• Pickleball picks up some steam with a couple of 'Intro to Pickleball' group sessions over the winter, maybe alot more to come in the new year?

• Cardio tennis is always the highlight of my week for a number of reasons, mostly in seeing tennis being enjoyed but also as the regulars may know I do like to make you work hard (more like suffer!) Good to see this session back to full strength, a very welcoming and social session therefore please add it to your New Years fitness resolution.

• Men's Summer First Team secured a historic promotion to the first division for the first time in the clubs history, will 2026 see them battle hard to stay up?

• Plenty of battles in this years Box league, especially on Finals Day itself!

• Creation of the Winter Mixed Two will hopefully see more people from the club playing Ipswich league tennis.
