Coaching

All club coaching is led by our head coach, Nic Jenkins. 

Nic represented Canterbury throughout his junior career and competed at a National and International level. Alongside his passionate coaching team, he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge for players to develop their tennis to a higher level. Nic caters his coaching style to all ages and abilities, understanding that each individual is unique and has different ways of learning. Nic has recently been the Tennis New Zealand 13U Boys Coach for 2023 and 2024, as well as the Canterbury Coach for Nationals since 2022. 

Nic leads our Hotshots programmes, Junior Interclub trainings and Senior trainings alongside his coaching staff. Our club players are extremely fortunate to have other opportunities to improve their game with his extensive coaching business, Elevate Tennis.
