Coaching Programme

Ignition Tennis is run by James Wescott - I know some of you have already met James - and he will be our Head Coach here, working alongside Charlie Crisp and Connor Brady.

James brings with him a wealth of tennis experience and has been running Ignition Tennis for over five years - currently running the coaching programmes at seven different clubs as well as over 20 Schools - and is really enthusiastic about taking over the coaching programme at his local club!

Ignition will be running mini tennis sessions and junior coaching sessions for under 18s as well as adult coaching and drills sessions too. The full programme starts the week beginning 25th February and is as follows:
