All about the Academy!

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Ditcham Tennis Academy and tennis coach, Jay.    My two young boys have been attending after-school, weekend and holiday clubs over the past year, and it has been such a fantastic experience for them both.   Jay has a remarkable ability to connect with each child, making every practice dynamic and fun, and ensuring that the children not only learn the fundamentals of tennis but also enjoy themselves.  My boys leave each session excited and motivated (and are delighted from time-to-time to win the odd bit of tennis merchandise too!).  I wholeheartedly recommend tennis at the Ditcham Tennis Academy to any parent looking for brilliant, engaging and fun tennis coaching for their children.”  Parent of junior players

“The Tennis Academy has enabled our son to find a real love for tennis.  It has been wonderful for improving his game and has brought the competitive element into the game which he loves.  The academy expects a high level of commitment from the children which means they really do learn.  Thank you!”  Parent of senior player

“As a parent, I’ve seen Louis thrive under Jay’s coaching.  He’s fostered a genuine love for the game in Louis and instilled a hunger to keep pushing his limits.  The Tennis Academy has been fantastic in nurturing his talent and helping him improve both his skills and confidence on and off the court.  I couldn’t recommend it more!”  Parent of performance player

“James is a fantastic coach, he is very experienced and has contagious enthusiasm. My son is always excited for each session and his skill has improved so fast with the combination of weekly lessons, longer camp days in the holidays and tournaments. James challenges the children, expecting them to try their best and demonstrate good sportsmanship, but they always leave feeling very motivated and having had great fun. I also think the discipline he instills has further reaching benefits beyond the tennis court. I would thoroughly recommend Ditcham Park Tennis Academy.”  Parent of junior performance player

“The Ditcham Tennis Academy has had a hugely positive impact on my son.  Jay’s unwavering enthusiasm combined with a wealth of experience has motivated my son to get better and better pushing himself to improve – to be a Performance Player is a huge accolade for him!  My son is there because he loves tennis, but for me, I love the personal qualities the academy develops – the strength to keep trying and learning and to stay calm even when a match isn’t going his way.  Although tennis is an individual sport, it feels like a team sport for my son at the academy.”  Parent of performance player

“My daughter absolutely loves the Ditcham Tennis Academy, both the after school Academy sessions and the holiday camps. I’ve seen a huge improvement in her tennis and a real appetite to learn, improve and grow in confidence.  I’ve no doubt that she would have learnt so much and so quickly had it not been for James’ first-class coaching and enthusiasm. Having the opportunity to play with other children of different ages and abilities has had a really positive impact.”  Parent of junior player
