More About Alistair
I have been playing tennis for over 50 years and in that time the game of tennis, the racquets, even the balls have all changed beyond all recognition. That is the challange for both player and coaches. My involvement in tennis has given me an insight into all aspects and levels of the game. The enthusiasm and commitment I demonstrate when playing is also evident in my coaching techniques.Member Testimonial
I started lessons 6 years ago with Ally, having never played before. He has always been encouraging - every lesson is different and always aimed at making me think through problems and discuss ways to improve. The lessons always finish on a good note no matter how bad my tennis has been!!!. He also gives my daughter lessons and she is gaining confidence with his tuition
