About us

Our Philosophy

We are Kate and Jon, experienced tennis coaches and local Bexley parents, teaming up to launch Tennis Together. Inspired by our experiences within clubs as well as by our son Alfie, our vision is to run a community, family-friendly coaching programme.

Our coaching programme brings communities and families together either through parent and child coaching, parent cardio sessions or providing opportunities for families to play together!

We want to challenge the stigma tennis holds and provide affordable, good quality tennis coaching where everyone is welcome.

The Coaching Team

Kate Green

Kate grew up in Charlton and started playing tennis with her mum and dad at a local club when she was 7 years old. At age 11, Kate started playing competitive tennis and as a junior reached top 15 in the country. She represented Bexley Lawn Tennis Club, winning the National Junior Club League (now AEGON) as well as being part of the winning Kent Junior County cup team on multiple occasions. At 19, her tennis then took her to North Carolina State University, where she achieved a full tennis scholarship. Having finished university she continued to play competitive tennis at both County and National level. She represented the Cumberland Club and Kent ladies winning National titles in both.

During this time, Kate also began her coaching career, and has worked in clubs around the local area since. She is an extremely experienced tennis coach, and has just completed her Level 4 Senior Coaching qualification. She still enjoys playing club and county tennis, although her focus now is on raising her son, Alfie and building her tennis coaching business alongside partner, Jon.

Kate’s coaching philosophy has been shaped from both her experiences in competitive tennis, but also from work she has done in the community through coaching at local clubs and schools.
