RICH LITTLE

LTA Level 4 Coach (S.C.C.) Accredited +

Member of the British Tennis Coaches Association (BTCA)

Member of Registro Profesional De Tenis (RPT)

As Head Coach at Bath Tennis Club, Rich offers individual tennis lessons for players of all ages and abilities. Tennis lessons typically last 1 hour and whether you’re looking to improve your technique, develop your match tactics or work on court agility, he’s happy to adapt the tennis lesson to suit your needs.

His interest is in technical analysis and stroke production. This involves getting the most out of your shots in a compact motion that both optimises spin, power and control. It’s all about repetition – confidence in tennis very much comes from consistency of technique. Above all though, and most importantly, my tennis lessons are highly enjoyable and taken in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Everyone who joins the club comments on how welcoming it is and how much is going on. That’s pretty much all down to Andrew. He manages our very busy competitive league matches throughout the year, runs a whole host of hilarious social events, is the driving force behind the many club facility improvements and ensures the club is a safe and enjoyable place to play your tennis.
