Our aim is to provide a service which allows for easier and greater access to the following:
- High quality tennis coaching
- Opportunities for individuals to develop and progress within tennis
We truly want to make a difference to Tennis and with 9 million pupils attending school across Great Britain we see this as the starting point in our pathway of attracting and retaining youngsters within the sport.
We are unique in this as we offer schools high quality coaching programmes delivered by high quality professional coaches. We believe that the best coaches need to be in schools and working within grassroots delivery to allow pupils the best possible 1st experience of the sport.
We can then offer clear opportunities for future development through the coaching and competition programmes offered at our network of local clubs at a much lower cost than is usually associated with tennis.
All our coaches have a commitment to growing the sport at all levels including the identification of talent. Children identified and showing commitment to the sport will be invited to access the PB365 Academy. The Academy is fully inclusive and aims to provide the professional quality coaching needed to maximise potential. We can deliver this at a local level removing barriers such as travelling and higher fees at the large tennis centres.
PB365 understand that safety is a main consideration for any sport and we ensure that all of our coaches are:
- LTA qualified
- Fully insured
- Enhanced CRB checked
- First aid qualified
