The Story so far!
I started my coaching career with a small junior programme at Guildford Spectrum with 40 players and 3 squads, I left 5 years later and the programme had grown to 200 players and 15 squads.
I then took on a local tennis club which I sustained for 12 months till I got approached to work with WB Tennis who had 5 sites including 5 schools, I worked with them for 3 years, starting in a small club to taking over the programme at Sutton Tennis and Squash Club.
Currently I run the Ollie Kirk Tennis programme @CranleighClub where we offer a number of junior and adult sessions for members and non members.
All sessions are specifically designed to develop the individual through our differentiation approach to players learning.
I was lucky enough in 2018 to be voted Surrey coach of the Year which is an accolade I am extremely proud of.
Who are we?

Every single person on this planet is different. No two people are the same; no two people learn, or see the world in exactly the same way. That is what makes us all special.
At the Ollie Kirk Tennis Academy, we respect that, and learn from each other each and every day, whether that's from other coaches or from the players that we are coaching.
In tennis a good foundation is essential and we build players creating the correct FUNdamentals to enhance there enjoyment playing the game of tennis.
All our sessions are developed around movement, co-ordination, sending and receiving skills to encourage an all round fun time.
