TESTIMONIALS

"I have been involved in various forms of competitive sports for over 40 years now and I can say that Rowan Moss is the best sporting coach I have come across, by some margin. I particularly like his attention to detail, his discipline but also that he is a positive role model, children lucky enough to be coached by him are not just learning how to be great tennis players, they are being prepared for their future lives."

"Emilio and I worked with Rowan and Nicky for 7 years and in that time they have done a fantastic job of promoting the Sanchez-Casal Academy in the UK. I've worked on court with Rowan many times over the years and he is a great coach and passionate about our sport."

"The team are fantastic coaches and are hugely supportive of those at all levels. Having started just over a year ago as a beginner with little confidence in my ability to play tennis, I can already see a massive improvement in my technique and self-confidence which, would not have been possible without the support of Nicky. I cannot recommend joining DTLTA enough, I wish I had started sooner!"

"If it's results you're looking for look no further. Since joining Down the Line Tennis Academy at age 6 my daughter has progressed through the ranks by using numerous DTLTA coaches. At age 8 she is now one of the top 8 year olds in the county. The level of professionalism and dedication from everyone involved has been outstanding. Currently coached by Rowan Moss her game keeps climbing to the next level due to excellent session planning for private lessons and performance group training. Seems the world is your oyster at DTLTA"

"Down the Line is by far the very best tennis coaching we've had. Our children love their tennis lessons and have progressed significantly in just two years. Adult lessons are superb, providing a well structured and friendly coaching environment. Since day one, we felt part of this community."

John has brought my game to a new level of consistent power. His attention to detail for my technique and analysis is increasing my volley and groundstroke strength. I would recommend John to anyone from beginners to performance players.” (competitive player & LTA coach)

"Richard has been coaching my daughter for just over a year now. In that time the development in her game has been transformational. Richards technical expertise is beyond doubt.. However, he is equally keen to develop a deeper tactical and strategic understanding of the game. His sessions are always fun, but never at the expense of learning and hard work. Richard provides a very nurturing environment in which to learn, and is passionate about developing the whole person. I cannot speak highly enough about his all round coaching abilities."

~ Neil Procter

“Richard has been teaching my children for a couple of years. Initially he was teaching my son (9) in the development squad, but more recently has been teaching my daughter (8) on an individual basis. I have therefore seen Richard teaching both in a group setting and singly. Richard’s passion for tennis is obvious. His knowledge of the game is superb. Not only does he teach the skills required to master good strokes, but he spends time explaining court craft; how to develop and structure points, when to push forwards, when to stay back, for example. He has been able get the best out of my daughter, keeping her focussed and interested, by finding the perfect balance of discipline and fun (no easy feat!). So impressed have I been with Richard’s teaching, I have recently started having lessons myself and already I can see my game improving. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough.”
