Report
Ben has been teaching my 10 year old for the last year. He makes the lessons really fun and gives the girls easy tips they can remember when practicing. They have really improved and love their lessons with him. His Cardio lessons are fantastic also, we have been playing for 3 years and all the Mums have a really great time while practicing our tennis skills. Highly recommend Ben as a coach.
