Testimonials
Joe has significant difficulties coping with day to day life due to his Autism which limits his social interaction and his motor skills to a degree. We have both spent time watching Chris teach Joe and are amazed by the improvement in his tennis which is surpassing what we ever thought he would achieve. Joe has had occupational therapy in the past to assist with his balance, coordination and strength and we believe that all of these have improved greatly through his tennis tuition.
It’s so different from anything else I can do, my son says when I have played I look like a different person.
Mrs Reynolds 92 years of age
The effect it has had on Win is clear, her self-esteem has grown, she feels she has a purpose and more importantly has something to tell her family about each time she has had a lesson. Her physical fitness has also improved, with the strength in her right arm increasing.
Chris Friend has recently completed a term's tennis lessons with a Y5/6 Class at our School. This was funded from the Sports Premium Fund. The lessons were such a success that we increased from our initial half a term to a full term as we could see the direct benefits on the children.
Many of the children from Brampton Abbotts are from disadvantaged backgrounds.
