About us

Tennis Tots was born out of a desire to start my daughter in a sport that has given me lifetime of happiness. I quickly realised that just balls and rackets would not hold her interest, so I invited some of my daughters friends along and invented a concept that combined excitement with learning.

I started tennis at around 8, (way too old!) and has never stopped. Representing Sussex at every age group, I still compete regularly. In 2019, I ranked number two in Britain for the ITF over 35 age group. I am a level 3 LTA Tennis coach and runs his own upholstery business.

I lives with my wife and daughter in Hurstpierpoint and play at The Weald in Hassocks, where he served as Tennis Chairman for many years.
