Activity Co-ordinator
Hi I’m Reuben, I’m an LTA accredited level 2 tennis coach with 6 years experience. In 2021, I was awarded LTA National Young Person of the Year for my work as a coach during lockdowns. I have worked with all ages and abilities from complete beginners to a Paralympic athlete. I have also played tennis competitively myself, such as playing the European Student Games in Poland representing my university. I always bring high energy and a friendly face to tennis sessions as I aim to make tennis accessible, enjoyable and inclusive for everyone. I look forward to seeing you on the court!

Tennis Coach
Hi I’m Charlie and I am an LTA Level 2 coach. I have been playing tennis since I was 7 years old and have always had a passion for the sport which I would love to share with you. I work with both adults and kids and have assisted in coaching groups of visually impaired and autistic players. I always try to make my sessions as engaging and fun as possible. I coach a wide range of abilities and welcome anyone who wants to improve their game or just have some fun learning new techniques. If you are interested in private coaching, contact me on charlieparfett@gmail.com.

Tennis Coach
Hi, i'm Mal. I have been working as an LTA accredited development coach since 2006, originally based in North Nottinghamshire. Having trained as an independent financial advisor, I balance coaching with the world of finance; though very different, both roles enable me to help players and customers to realise their respective goals. I'm pleased to be on the Courtside team bringing tennis to the community through delivering sessions in parks and local schools. For private lessons, contact me on wardbond42@gmail.com.
