Slamin Tennis Coaches
Our team of Coaches are intensely screened to ensure compliance with our state and national bodies. Furthermore Coaches are screened for suitability with our club culture and in meeting the needs of our clients.
Our team of Coaches includes Coaches from various backgrounds, many speak a second language, and all who have a massive passion for sharing the sport of tennis.
How do I know which Slamin Coach to be with?
Upon receiving an expression of interest to start lessons, or when you book a trial lesson, Vicky personally speaks to each player (or parent, if a child), to learn about the player’s needs, and objectives. This includes probing questions to learn more about how the child or player learns best, and their preferences. This can be so basic as:
- A young girl wanting a female coach
- A child with additional learning needs requiring a gentle, but encouraging coach
- A high performance player, requiring the services of a high performance tour coach
From here, Vicky will recommend the Slamin Coach most suited to the player’s needs.
In the event you require a translator to convey this information, we have multiple translators in a variety of languages to assist. Simply email: translator@slamin.com.au
We can appreciate everyone learns differently, and the coach student relationship is vital for success. Finding the right coach is like finding the perfect shoe, you know when you have found it.
All coaches are Members of our National Body Tennis Australia, and all hold Working with Children checks, Police checks and First aid certificates.
