About Us
Tennis Coach Ireland (originally the Tennis Ireland Coaches Association) was formed in 1992 by a group of coaches who felt that those teaching the game would benefit from a strong representative voice. The Association has now grown to over 300 members from all parts of Ireland.
Our function is to inform and represent coaches of Ireland on all matters related to teaching the game. From its inception Tennis Coach Ireland works closely with Tennis Ireland, the games National Governing Body.
If you are looking for a coach, and want the best, always insist on a Tennis Coach Ireland coach.

The Women’s Try Tennis Programme aims to make tennis affordable and accessible for women who are beginners or who haven’t played the sport in a number of years. The aim is to encourage women to join a club or continue taking lessons once they have completed the programme. If you would like to set up a programme or find out about what programmes are running near you, please contact our Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Aoife.osullivan@tennisireland.ie

THE VALUE OF VARIATION.
An important element of effective matchplay is the ability to keep your opponent guessing. The more your opponent is worrying about what you might do, the less she is concentrating on what she intends to do.
Example: your opponent’s second serve is weak. Yes, you should attack it. But if you always go for a winner, a clever server will start to anticipate what is going to happen. As the match progresses, she will be more and more prepared for your ‘usual return’.
What Does This Mean For Your Tennis?
It’s important to vary how you deal with situations that occur on a regular basis. In the case of returning a weak serve, what options do you have?
• `Chip and Charge` - treat the short serve as an opportunity to make your return of serve an approach shot. This puts the server under immediate pressure to pass you.
• Drop Shot – as the server is recovering after her serve, she may not be ready to sprint forward. The drop shot is an easy option for you if the second serve has bounced short.
• Winner - if the opportunity is there and you are hitting the ball well, it’s time to turn up the power. Your opponent won’t know it’s coming, because you haven’t attempted a winner off every weak serve.
By mixing up your plays, you stay unpredictable. And in tennis, unpredictability is a big advantage. ... See MoreSee Less
