Tennis Coaching Programme

Steven Bradshaw

Club Manager
​Rpt - World Tour Course Tennis Director (Lta Level 5 equivalence)
Uspta Pro Level 4
Director of Tennis - International Coaches Institute
Tennis professional equivalency from Estess University
Tel: 07402 268834

I've played tennis and competed at club level, regional tournaments and whilst studying at Stirling University.

I started coaching at the age of 16 and then trained through the Spanish coaching system which has been responsible for developing the likes of Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal.

I've had the pleasure of coaching both in the UK and overseas in various settings around the world which has helped development and nurture my approach to developing players. I've had the pleasure of developing some of my coaching alongside Mark Petchey former British no. 80 and coach to Andy Murray.

My approach to coaching is focussed around each individuals requirements and a targeted approach to helping them achieve their goals. Using simple to understand instruction and keeping the sessions engaging and fun is key to my coaching philosophy.

I love all aspects of tennis, from watching to playing and particularly seeing people improving and enjoying the sport.
