Our team
With structured plans on a weekly basis, our coaches build strong relationships with each player, therefore helping them maximise their full tennis potential whilst learning valuable life skills as well.
The iTennis Coaching Academy would not be the same without our team of passionate, professional and dedicated coaches and staff. Each coach has an accreditation through either Tennis Australia, AATC (Endorsed by Tennis Australia), USTA and ATPCA. If you have any questions or remarks, please get in touch.
