Old Wilsonians’ LTC and RAW Tennis will together be running coaching events as part of the Davis Cup Legacy Programme. Jake Johnson will be leading 2 sets of coaching events during the summer. Each will consist of a 6 week coaching course for 10 players (5-8yr olds) who have never taken part in a tennis programme before. The course will run in the period of the school summer term or the summer holiday – the precise dates haven’t yet been fixed. Every new participant will receive a FREE racket and the club will get a bucket of red tennis balls to help with the event. As part of the application process Jake had to submit a video, explaining about himself, his coaching and why he wanted to be part of the Davis Cup legacy. And to talk about his successes as a coach.
