We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of our new Head Coach, Daniel James, at Hampton – and we’re confident you’re going to love the impact he’s already making!
He has had a great deal of experience in Tennis Club coaching as well as a variety of other coaching engagements, which have all given him the experience to make a big impact at our club.
Within a very short period of 10 months he gained his Level 1, 2 and 3 LTA Accredited Tennis Coaching Qualification and competed at an exceedingly high standard.
In his youth he played for Warwickshire County for many years and was seeded number 1 for 5 years. He further developed his Tennis skills and experience by playing in tournaments across the United States and Spain, which has greatly enriched his understanding and approach to the game.
He has also, in the distant past, worked part-time as a waiter and bartender – you never know when that might come in handy!
He’s been put through his paces by being observed with adult and junior groups, private sessions, and coaching 24 pickleball players at once – and he passed with flying colours!
The feedback has been glowing, and it’s clear: his passion, energy, and relatability are exactly what our coaching program needed.
He has already demonstrated, with many plans and ideas, his commitment to helping the club and every player grow.
Whether you’re looking to improve your game, get your kids active, or just have more fun on court – this is the moment to get involved.
Come meet the coach, join a session, and see the difference for yourself!
