Head Coach

Shane Jenkins - Club Ferrier Cup Player. 

I have been playing tennis since I was three years old. I have great deal of experience in training people in a few different sports. This experience directly transfers to tennis and gives me a unique way of teaching you at any level. My focus is to improve your game and bring new members to the club.

I will be running a weekly exercise night which will be called Motion Monday. This will be based around getting you moving and the heart pumping. Over winter Wednesday will be kids group coaching followed by senior drill evening with a focus on the most important part of the match staying in the rally. Friday for teenager interclub coaching starting at 4.30 pm.

There will also be private lessons upon request and availability. You can contact me on 021740744 by text or call. or email Shane Jenkins coachingwithshane@outlook.com 

I will also be running group seasons on particular parts of the game. For example split step how to do it, when to do it and why you need to do it. Reset the rally, how to reset the rally if you are in trouble. Court craft for singles double and mixed. Playing the percentages and knowing when to pull the trigger and win the point.

I will also be posting things to work on from time to time to help you focus on a particular part of your game or introduce you to a new concept of play you might not be aware of. For example the warmup against an opponent what to look for how to find a weakness and develop a match strategy based on what you have learnt about your opponent.
