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. We’re extremely proud to share some of their stories with you. If you have any questions or remarks, please get in touch.
