Tennis Academy

Tennis is a sport played all year round at Kilgraston on our 8 new courts which have been fully refurbished, 3 specifically for tennis and then a 5 tennis court area which will also be used for mini hockey, netball, basketball and fitness. We also have an indoor court in the Sports Hall for when the weather stops play outside.

Our Tennis Academy Coach, Daniel Reed, has an excellent track record coaching elite tennis players across the globe. He has previously worked alongside the former British number one Annabel Croft at the National Tennis Centre, home of the LTA. Here he developed talented juniors into elite performers based upon the RPT (Registro Professional de Tennis) teaching methods and systems that private tennis academies in Spain utilise, having produced players such as Rafael Nadal, Carlos Ferrero and Andy Murray.

RPT methods are based much more on whole body movement with positioning and footwork patterns being trained as much as a players’ racquet control.

Daniel delivers a comprehensive tennis programme focusing on high energy, movement based drill play at the heart of the programme and making sure all players thoroughly enjoy their tennis, show significant progress in their understanding of the game, and most importantly are inspired to continue to play tennis in the future. Pupils will be working closely on technical work, squad performance training, strength and conditioning, video analysis, psychology and nutrition.
