Coaching at Nelson Lawns Tennis Club

Being a member of Nelson Lawns Tennis Club gives you access to professional tennis coaching from our dedicated coach Ash Calder of Calder Tennis.

Coaching is available for non-members of the club, but you will need to join the club if you continue to have coaching on a regular basis.

Introducing Ash Calder

Ashleigh has been involved in tennis from the age of 7 years. For much of that time, Ash was training hard and competing in various tennis tournaments around the country and overseas. Ash played at National level for 7 years, including holding a few junior National titles and has represented Nelson Bays and Canterbury in tennis since she was a young junior. She continues to represent Nelson Bays today. In 2013, she took her tennis career to the next level and began coaching in the family business, Calder Tennis where she coached at various clubs around the Nelson Bays region. She completed her Junior Development coaching course with Tennis Australia in late 2014 and is very excited to be involved with helping Calder Tennis and junior and senior members of NLTC improve their skills.
