On behalf of the Greythorn Park Tennis Club committee, I want to formally thank you for making the effort, spending your own time to enable 10 of our junior players to participate in the Hot Shots Kids on Court experience on Rod Laver Arena. A sincere thanks to Simon from all the GPTC committee members for making possible and organising that special day for the kids.

You are truly an asset to our club, a great coach, indeed a mentor for many of the kids, and a positive spirit for the game of tennis. We wish you luck with continuing your well run and professional coaching program at WCTA.

I have been with WCTA for a little over a year now, I started with little knowledge of the game. WCTA helped me develop my skills as a player and has been beneficial physically and mentally. Now, one year later, I believe that the level of my tennis has improved dramatically. 

The coaches are friendly and easy to talk to and always have a great program written each week with a variety of well thought out drills to develop our strokes, footwork and movement. The coaches are always very fair and have always given one hundred percent into every single lesson. Joining WCTA was a great step in improving me as a person and as a tennis player.

Simon has coached me for over 8 years now. I started with Simon when I was 40 years old with undisciplined tennis strokes and court craft. I never thought that I could improve my tennis skills at such a late stage in my life. Simon proved me wrong.

He started by studying my style of play and rather than make drastic changes to my strokes and causing me to lose interest in the sport, he opted to change the strokes progressively overtime. It has been a series of easy transitions. His use of drills to improve fitness, mobility and court awareness is an integral part of his coaching style. This approach re-inforced any stroke and style changes implemented. 

Simon is also highly professional and committed to his customers. Weather permitting, I have never experienced a last minute cancellation by Simon in the years he has coached me. This is a reflection of the high level of professionalism that Simon embraces. I am a better tennis player as I head into my fifties, thanks to Simon. I enjoy the game a lot more because I am doing it right, better and still improving!

Thank you again for the coaching sessions, I'm really happy to know that I am now using the right techniques - thanks to you!

The last two years have been really hard for me, because I feel that I basically learnt nothing - I feel as if I was being mislead by the coaches at my former tennis club. I believe they didn't realise what I am capable of, they didn't see my potential. But now I'm very confident that I can quickly catch up on the two years I lost by having you as my coach. You have a great gift for coaching Simon and I'm sure you know it!

Thank you so much for preparing Brittany for the 3-week Bollettieri program in Tampa, Florida. We thought it was important to forward her academy report to you before this afternoon's training session.

Extras from the Academy Report: “She already has a very good foundation in regards to the strokes. Her coach at home has obviously done a great job with her...”
