We look forward to the busy summer of tournaments where we wish all our players well and look forward to seeing as well as hearing about their results. 

We encourage all players to send any pictures to the relevant what’s app groups so they can be posted on our social media channels as well as included in our newsletter.

Lastly please actively tag Unique Tennis in any posts you make related to tennis. Whether that be training, tournaments as it’s easy for us to then share.

This is the best and most effective way for us to show the wider tennis community what’s happening at Unique Tennis.

COACHING TEAM

JAYSON MBOGORO

Jayson was one of the players on the full time programme at Unique Tennis and an aspiring professional player, unfortunately due to a severe injury he was no longer able to pursue this ambition. He played several junior tournaments around the world at ITF level. This has given him extensive experience of what it takes being on the road competing and what it takes to play internationally.

Through these tournaments and experiences, he has learnt the amount of hard work, dedication and mental toughness it takes to play this sport and he feels this is important for him to be able to connect with other players. He is an aspiring young coach looking to take his tennis knowledge to the top. Jayson will be working on the full time programme from September 2024 and using this time to help develop the players whilst shadowing the coaches and gaining knowledge on performance tennis. It’s exciting for us to have a former player who understands our ethos and the culture we create at Unique Tennis. He will also still keep up his duties supervising the classroom, making sure everyone is studying hard and keeping on top of their work.

UNIQUE TENNIS RPDC

Over the past month or so we have been accepting trials and applicants for the RPDC programme at Unique Tennis. The LTA produced their list for the next group of players on this performance pathway at the end of April.
