WEST WARWICK’S TENNIS CLUB New Tennis Programme
One Step Ahead Coaching At ‘One Step Ahead’ tennis coaching we are committed to developing the skills of players of all ages, from 3 to adults, to be the best they can be. We will achieve this by keeping abreast with the latest innovations in the ever changing world of tennis. We will only ever allow appropriately qualified coaches to work under our brand. We aim to set up our programmes so that there are inward routes, whatever a players ability, and exit routes to allow those players to develop fully their potential. It is important to us that we achieve this whilst treating every one of our players equally and creating a ‘spiritual sporting home’ for them always to return to. .
