Hi, my name is Gemma. I have been a coach at Castle Hill Tennis Academy since 2017 and am the current Hot Shots Coordinator. I completed my Community Coaching course in 2017, then completed my Junior Development course over 2019 and 2020. I also participated in the Tennis Australia Future Leader’s program. 

I began playing tennis in 2015 and instantly realised that this was my sport. I started playing the junior Saturday competition and worked my way up to winning division 1. During this time, I also won the Most Improved Player Award and the Club Commitment Award. I also played in the adult singles and doubles competitions. 

One thing I love about coaching young children through to adults is experiencing the progress of my students. Whether they have just hit their first shot over the net, or just won their division, I love seeing the smile on their faces and seeing what they’re able to achieve.
