Improve your game
Our Coaching Partner at Collaroy Tennis Club is Evolve Tennis Academy. Directors Ryan Maloney and Scott Fletcher share a combined 40+ years of experience as professional coaches. No matter what your tennis aspirations, Evolve has a program for you. There are coaches for every level of player from beginner to Pro., and others who specialise in ‘all-abilites’ coaching. There are also Top Level coaches like former Touring Professional Matt Barton, who coaches elite players at Collaroy.
JUNIOR PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES
Evolve offers junior coaching programs for kids and young players aged from 2 to 10+ years old. They run school holiday camps and even offer a Shuttle Bus service from local schools around Collaroy with supervision for youngsters at the Club until 6pm on weekdays, so parents don’t have to rush to an early pick-up. Evolve has an excellent track record of coaching juniors from absolute beginners to competition and tournament play, right through to achieving national rankings. One of their star students, Pavle Marinkov, won the Collaroy Open Men’s Singles title at 14 years of age and went on to win the 18 and Under National Title at just 16.
ADULT COACHING PROGRAMS
Evolve also offers a range of coaching programs for adults, from group classes and squad training to private lessons. They also offer Cardio Tennis to get your heart rate up and Sunrise Social Sessions during the summer holidays. And when you’re ready, you can join their in-house and local association competitions.
ALL ABILITIES PATHWAYS
With a team of specialist All Abilities coaches, Evolve offers Wheelchair Tennis classes as well as coaching for children with Autism and Down’s Syndrome. Students play on a specially installed acrylic-based hard court that has been adapted for wheelchair access. Collaroy Tennis Club held its first ever Wheelchair Tennis Club Championships in 2023 and some of our young ‘Wheelies’ are now competing at a high level for State and National Titles. You can also hire a court, hire a sports wheelchair and balls to hit with family and friends anytime.
