Ciaran Redmond is the head coach at Deerpark Tennis Club. He is a qualified Tennis Ireland Level 2 coach with over 14 years experience.
In addition to developing tennis skills, the coaching team creates a fun environment so that learning tennis is an enjoyable experience.
There are three terms of coaching in a year: September to December, January to Easter and Easter to June.
A quick assessment may be required before joining a group. This is just to ensure that players are matched with others of a similar playing standard.
Under 10 coaching
We use the ITF Tennis 10s system (Red, Orange, and Green) which means modified racket, balls and court size are used to make tennis easier and fun and ensure correct technique is learned.
Our under 10s will develop hand-eye coordination skills and learn technique for Forehand, Backhand, Serve and Volley, as well as how to rally. They also learn the rules of the game.
Over 10 and Teenage coaching
Using a full ball and full size court, students will learn and practice technique for all strokes, singles and doubles tactics and skills for how to play in a match.
