About RBTennis
RBTennis was founded in 2020 by Rory Barham an international standard tennis player as a junior with over a decade of teaching experience.
Our goal at RBTennis is to make tennis affordable and accessible for everyone whilst still providing elite academy level coaching. We realised that the most affordable programmes were participation programmes and if you wished to become an established player it would involve moving to an expensive private club or academy.
RBTennis provides everyone with a chance to train as a tennis player. Our philosophy is heavily centred around building athletes, with a technique and physical first approach to our training. Our coaches are both LTA and Internationally qualified, and mirror the Spanish Teaching Method found in all top Spanish academies as well as many others worldwide. This is the same system that helped produce Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray amongst many others.
We incorporate the following four vital pillars in our teachings:
-
Technique
-
Tactics
-
Physical
-
Mental
We endeavour to have all exercises working on not just one, but all of these four pillars. This philosophy combined with hard work has already turned out international, national and county standard players as well as winning divisions in our first year of competing against other clubs.
