So if we have not yet met on the court, My name is Clayton Edge. I have played tennis since the age of 12, coached since age of 17 at two other clubs and have been a self employed, fully qualifed LTA  full time tennis coach for the past 7 years at Walsall Tennis Club. I am 4 time mens singles champion at Walsall and also Mens A team captain in Staffordshire Premier division, you can view my club at www.walsalltennis.co.uk. I am also 8 time (with a current streak of 6 wins) mens singles champion at my boyhood club of Quarry Bank, near Merry Hill, their website is www.quarrybanktennisclub.co.uk  if you are looking for tennis in the Stourbridge area. Despite these singles successes, I feel my strength lies in doubles (due to fitness, that I am now addressing successfully in Winter training) and have won countless titles over the year in both Mens and Mixed. I still love to Coach and unlike many Tennis coaches, I still love to compete. So if you want to improve with me, you can be sure I can still relate to your issues and emotions on court, because like you, I still and will always be playing Tennis.

I am DCA qualified, LTA licensed and have public liability insurance, I attend 4 coaching courses a year to stay licensed and keep up to speed with current standards and practice. Included in the 30 or so courses I have attended are, ‘movement and footwork patterns’ with JEZ GREEN (the bald guy) he works with Andy Murray all year round on fitness and analyses his footwork, ‘teaching wheelchair tennis’ with former no 1 and paralympian Jayant Mistry, and I’m also fully trained in ‘CARDIO TENNIS’, look on here for news of the launch in New Year, burn up to 700 calories per session, so go on have that extra mince pie! 

I teach all tennis players, from beginner to national level, from tots to pensioners, and individuals to schools, I have lots of experience with teaching disabilities and have worked successfully with ‘working age dementia’ clients for a year which was so rewarding! So hope to see you on the courts soon, please browse my pages to see what’s on offer and look forward to you letting ‘CL8 make your game GR8′ with ‘On The Edge Tennis’ coaching!
