SEATON Tennis Club have welcomed a new head coach in Joe Waters this month.

Waters arrives with great credentials from his previous clubs in Gloucestershire and has already made a big impact.

In addition to his coaching programme, he's been joining in at club sessions and getting to know everyone.

Waters has also bolstered Seaton’s A team by playing in a handful of league fixtures, making himself a very welcome addition to the squad.

Waters said: "The first month here at Seaton has been fantastic. Everyone has been really welcoming and supportive.

“Getting the junior coaching restarted has been a big focus for the committee and me.

“My aim is to really grow the junior programme and have a strong junior section running alongside an already strong adult membership." 

Dave Wraith, club membership secretary and already a regular client of Waters’ added: “It’s great to have Joe at the club and I’m sure my game is improving as a result.

“I’ve really enjoyed trying cardio tennis in particular. It’s great fun hitting with the softer balls, and you get a brilliant workout at the same time.

“Everyone’s really enjoying it, no matter what level they’re at.”
