Tennis at Le Petit Roc

Le Petit Roc has its own tennis court, built over the winter of 2007/2008 by Jimmy Drapeaux et famille of Royan. Fenced only at one end it takes advantage of its natural surroundings to provide a relaxed venue for playing and coaching.

Guests are welcome to use the court at any time for social or competitive play, but those seeking to learn new skills or to improve their game (or even a hitting partner to burn up some kilojoules) may wish to take advantage of my tennis knowledge and experience built up over many years of teaching and coaching.

I have over 15 years experience of teaching and coaching tennis, from my 13 years’ teaching career and the large amount of individual coaching I have been involved in since my move to France in 2006. I obtained the ECA from the LTA at Newport in 1993, and the CCA at Taunton in 1998. In 2007 I attended the British Tennis Coaches Conference at Bisham Abbey, and through my involvement in the tennis clubs of Chalais and Aubeterre, and that of my six year old son in the Charente regional programme, I keep abreast of recent developments in the game.

I can provide coaching as an optional add on to your holidays at Le Petit Roc, but more and more families, couples and large groups are coming here specifically for tailored tennis breaks, adapted to their level of play and motivation. And if you want to play in the many tournaments in south east Charente and north west Dordogne then contact me well in advance and you can play competitive tennis in France, against the French. Please contact me by e mail to discuss your requirements.
