Coaching at Glasnevin LTC
GLTC has a variety of coaching options available for members. Coaches recognised by the club are Eoin Considine (Director of Tennis) & Gary Bolger (Juniors) who will provide group and private lessons to club members. Group lessons are a great way to get to know other members, as well as an opportunity to arrange to meet new practice partners. In conjunction with coaching, social tennis events are also held regularly throughout the year, which are great fun and an opportunity to put all the coaching into practice. Tennis is usually followed by food and music in the lounge, again a nice way to meet people and integrate into the club. All of the club’s coaches are qualified with Tennis Ireland, are fully Garda vetted and have completed child protection training.
