  • Stories from our young people who are Deaf/ have a hearing loss

    My love for tennis started 12 years ago when I joined the local tennis club in Windsor, I enjoyed it so much that I joined a National Deaf Tennis team. 4 times a year we attend training camps in London and Nottingham. These camps are hard but it also gives me the opportunity to socialise with other deaf players and coaches. 

    I have won the National Junior Championships twice, and represented Great Britain in Germany, and am now working my way towards the Men’s GB Deaf Tennis Team, hopefully competing in the Deaf Olympics in Japan later in the year.

    My career path has been influenced by my love for tennis, I have completed my Level 1, Level 2 in Sports Coaching , and am currently studying my Level 3 which is a 2 year course at BCA. When I complete my course I would like to become a deaf tennis coach and help other children access the sport where needed.
