Based on the West Coast of the South Island of NZ, we offer coaching services and racquet restringing for greater West Coast region.

Man, if only the AI image was a true reflection of OUR spring!

Spring is here whether we are happy about it or not ☔️☔️☔️ and so it is time to dust off the racquets and look for the gaps in the weather to get out on court!

The clubs are into AGM phase, and the clubs will start opening officially over the next month or so.

If you require some lessons to get started, or to resume after a winter off from playing, please let me know. Check out coasterstenniscoaching.co.nz for more information.

Also check your racquet strings; I can restring your racquet too. A simple formula is if you play once a week = restring once a year, twice a week = twice a year etc etc. You don't have to wait for the strings to break before replacing them, once they are worn out they often lose enough tension that it can be difficult to break them, especially the softer strings, but your standard of tennis is affected in the meantime.

Cheers, Vaughan

Didn't those holidays go fast! Hope everyone got some time on the tennis court! Let's hope for some dream weather for the 2nd half of the season.

Just a reminder that I am still providing private lessons, at present they are limited to Friday during the day and on Saturday during the school term. You can book regular appointments or just casual ones. Please just message me if you're interested.

Cheers, Vaughan

If you’re looking for 1 or 2 lessons prior to the season starting, the next couple of weeks are a good opportunity to book in as my regular lessons often take a bit of a break during school holidays.

I have some times available late afternoons over the next couple of weeks. Check out details on the link below and flick a message if you’d like to book in for 1 or 2 lessons.

Evening West Coast tennis community :)

As you'll be aware, clubs are coming out of hibernation and people are dusting off their racquets, just now need the weather to come to the party.

So just to confirm what some of you already know, I will NOT be coaching at club training days this season. It was a really difficult decision as it was great to see the development of our juniors last year and some new adult players learning the sport.

Ideally I would really like for tennis to be a full-time career on the Coast, like it has been for me elsewhere, however there are a number of reasons why this is unachievable here and I've tried many different initiatives to make it work over the last 10 years since moving here. Some more successful than others!

I now have to prioritise my full time job as a Health Coach at the hospital. Balancing this role and coaching, plus other commitments is too challenging and so this is where my decision to pull back from club coaching has come from.

I will still be offering some regular 1 on 1 lessons from Term 4 if courts are available on one of my days off, and at times I'll be offering extra lesson slots casually to my text group. If you would like to be texted when I offer these lessons please dm me your phone number and I'll add you to the group.

I understand my decision will be disappointing for some, for this I apologise. I believe the clubs are organising junior coaching during the season with a good coach so there is still the ability to learn the sport, it will be great to see the next generation come through as well.

Have a great tennis season, I look forward to seeing you all down there from time to time.

Cheers,

Vaughan

Term 2 Tennis Squads – Coasters Tennis Coaching 15/04/2025

One job, Vaughan! 🙄 The closing date for Term 2 squads was way off, instead of it being today it was meant to be Thursday next week (24th April). Hopefully this gives people time to find out when their winter sport trainings are and can still find some time for tennis. If you aren't sure yet but are still interested, please put the enrolment in and you can add notes so towards the end of next week I can start putting players together.

Get those registrations in at:
