Coaching Team

We are proud to have gained the services of two excellent coaches: Peter Farthing and Helen Almond.

Peter Farthing – 01424 421451

With competitive experience at Junior and Senior County level and a 2 year Tennis Scholarship at Temple Junior College, Texas behind him, Peter began coaching in 1993. He is CCA qualified (1997) and Registered with the LTA.

In 2002, he embarked on training with Sir John Whitmore to become an Inner Tennis Tutor for the British Tennis Coaches Association (now TenniscoachUK). He is a founder member of Inner Works Coaching, an organisation specialising in the Inner Game principles originated by Tim Gallwey, which now provides independant consultation, performance training and coach tutoring to a variety of sports.

His interest in human potential also led him to become qualified in Neuro-Linguistic-Programming and Hypnotherapy and provided him with many fascinating insights into the psychology of learning and performance.

Peter uses tools from all of these fields of knowledge to enhance learning, performance and enjoyment in his coaching.

Helen Almond – 07981 170322

Helen has worked with children for 14 years. She was manager of the creche at Maidstone Tennis and Fitness Centre for five years and has coached at Amherst Tennis Club for eight years.

Helen was inspired to take up tennis in her twenties and played and improved until she was able to train with the LTA and gain her DCA qualification in 2000. She has since upgraded her LTA qualification to the new Club Coach level. She is LTA Licensed and is available for adult and junior coaching.
