With a summer of tennis to look forward to Prestwich Tennis Club is pleased to welcome Paul Jepson as their new head coach. Paul is an LTA level 4 coach and has played County and National League tennis at singles and doubles for Lancashire.
Paul is familiar with the Club having stepped in to provide holiday cover for the Saturday morning junior sessions last summer.

The attached photo shows the 11am junior session with Karen and Paul pictured centre and level 1 coach Christian Millington on the far right.
