THE COACHING TEAM

All coaches are first aid trained, DBS checked & accredited.

LEVEL 4 COACHES:

  • Dave Harrild: “I have been a LTA level 4 qualified coach for 20 years. 6 years coaching at Blackheath Tennis Club (interim head coach 6 months). I have been at Shooters Hill for 12 years and been coaching full time for 3 years there. My coaching career started at Eltham Park South Community tennis in 2000. I have played for Kent County and have won singles, doubles and mixed titles at Blackheath Tennis Club and multiple titles at Shooters Hill.

LEVEL 2 COACHES: 

  • Jonas: ‘I’ve been a Fully Accredited Level 2 Instructor for 3 years and I am currently training for my Level 3 Coach qualification (due to be finished in February 2025) Before working at Shooters Hill, I spent a year at the Globe Lawn Tennis Club in Belsize Park where I coached (part-time) many red, orange and yellow players. My last full-time job was working with SEND students at a secondary school in Colindale, North London, where I was for two years. At University, I played BUCS Tennis and coached performance squads, whilst studying History. I am an avid fab of the professional ATP circuit, I keep up-to-date with tournaments and the latest technical and tactical developments. I specialise in helping to improve players serves and improving their psychological resilience. My favourite professional player since 2019 has been Jannik Sinner.’
  • Mylan Roberts: Level 2 instructor, available for 1:1 lessons & private group lessons, both juniors and adults. Coaching Days are Wed – Saturday.
  • Daisy Rowland: ‘I grew up playing tennis at Shooters Hill from the age of 3, and went on to represent Kent through all levels of Junior competition. I have enjoyed taking on a coaching role at the club over the last two years, recently achieving a distinction in my LTA level 2 coaching qualification. As a coach I try to fully understand my players needs, allowing them to dvelop in the best possible way whilst enjoying the game.

Please may all parents remember that they are responsible for the care of their children who are not in lessons at the club. Obviously the coaching team will take care of any children during the sessions, but will not be responsible for any siblings left on site.

Many thanks.
