An important part of my role is dedicated to Junior/Senior Competitions.

I also look after the Renouf Tennis Centre and try with the rest of the team to ensure that the facility is well maintained and is a warm and welcoming place for the tennis community. I also get involved with other bits and pieces such as team selections, I.T, Configure rankings etc… I have recently been awarded Tennis Central Official Entertainer by the rest of the staff.
