Racket Stries

Tales from the tramlines. Real club players, real shanked volleys, real WhatsApp groups that got out of hand.

About me

I coach tennis and pickleball at the club and run our Saturday pickleball drop-in, which has gone from 6 people to 40 in a year!! I genuinely think anyone can play a racket sport and have a brilliant time if someone just gets them on court and stops them worrying. Terry and I disagree about almost everything. It's fine. Mostly.

Interests

pickleball, beginners, getting juniors hooked, Terry's face when I say 'dink'
