Tennis Coaching
A comprehensive programme of coaching courses and squads are available for adults and juniors covering a range of standards. The majority of these sessions take place in the magnificent 4 court championship standard indoor tennis centre.
Culford’s coaching programme is headed by David Hall, Director of Tennis who has over 25 years’ experience in the development of tennis. Marc Powell, a leading National Coach and a former Great Britain junior international, heads up the training of elite players through the Academy programme which has a number of players accessing the programme from around the region.
Culford has a team of seven coaches who cover a range of development and performance coaching group sessions and also offer a comprehensive service for individual lessons for both Culford School children and adult / junior customers of the Tennis Centre. The coaches have links with six local primary and middle schools through support from the Bury School Sport Partnership, offering taster sessions and an annual ‘search for a star’ scheme which identifies talented young players.
