Tennis Coach

A tennis coach is someone who helps people learn how to play tennis, improve their skills, and enjoy the game. As a tennis coach in the UK, you might work with children, young people, and adults in schools, sports clubs, or leisure centres. Your job involves planning lessons, demonstrating techniques, organising matches, and giving feedback to help players improve. Some coaches work with beginners while others might train competitive players or even future professionals. To become a tennis coach, you usually need to be a good tennis player yourself, have strong communication skills, and complete coaching qualifications provided by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA). Tennis coaches often work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, especially during tournaments or training camps.
