Reuben Newman-Billington
Hi I’m Reuben, I’m an LTA accredited level 2 tennis coach with 6 years experience. In 2021, I was awarded LTA National Young Person of the Year for my work as a coach during lockdowns. I have worked with all ages and abilities from complete beginners to a Paralympic athlete. I have also played tennis competitively myself, such as playing the European Student Games in Poland representing my university. I always bring high energy and a friendly face to tennis sessions as I aim to make tennis accessible, enjoyable and inclusive for everyone. I look forward to seeing you on the court! If you are interested in private lessons, contact me on Reuben.Newman-Billington@courtside.uk

Become a Premier Tennis coach

We employ coaches at different levels to run and support a wide variety of programmes. Currently, there are opportunities to coach on our club, school, park and holiday club programmes, as well as individual private lessons which we are regularly asked about.

All Premier Tennis coaches are required to be DBS checked and have the relevant first aid qualification; they must also successfully demonstrate their coaching ability and attend training sessions with our coaching team as required. Get in touch with us to find out more.

What do Premier Tennis coaches receive?

Premier Tennis coaches are rewarded well, and in return, we expect a high degree of professionalism – which is nothing less than our customers demand or deserve.

We have excellent opportunities for ongoing coach education with our in-house partner Growing the Game. This enables us to create bespoke coaching courses for achieving Level 1 and 2 or above, often at a discount, with like-minded and motivated coaches.

You will also benefit from our own additional training, as we are committed to ensuring all our coaches are fully up to speed on age-appropriate drills and teaching techniques, as well as customer service expectations.

Further off-court support is available to our in-house coaches and local partners in the form of mentoring, marketing, customer service and administration, finance and legal advice.

How you can join the team
