Meet the Coaches

At Rookwood, we believe tennis is for everyone. That’s why our coaching team offers a range of sessions designed to fit your style and skill level.

As a club member, you gain exclusive access to our full coaching programme. Whether you want to book a private 1:1 session to perfect your serve, or you'd prefer to join in on our group coaching to meet fellow members, we have something for you. Plus, while you're at it, don't forget to have a look at the official Rookwood club clothing.

Aidan Hickman

Head Coach & Club Manager

Keith

As an LTA Level 3 coach, Aidan leads our weekly group sessions and keeps the club running smoothly. From court maintenance to private 1:1 lessons, he really is your first point of contact for all things Rookwood.

​

Alongside his private lessons, Aidan runs a great variety of adult group coaching. With dedicated sessions for ladies, men's, mixed, 'hard hitters', and 'rusty rackets' players, there really is something for everyone.

​

He also runs a Saturday morning kids' coaching, which has recently become very popular. The sessions kick off at 9:00 am for the Reception-aged kids and run right through to the teenagers.

​

All of Aidan's group sessions, for both adults and kids, are managed through the Spond app. If you or your kids would like to get involved, just drop Aidan a quick message and he’ll make sure you get put into the right group, and then he'll get you set up on the app!

Part-time Coach

A Level 3 coach with extensive experience, Keith specialises in Adult Improver courses and tactical drills. He offers 6–7 week term-based blocks designed to build your confidence and doubles positioning.

Get on Court

Whether you're looking to sharpen your match play or you're picking up a racket for the first time in years, our coaches Aidan and Keith are here to help. We run a busy weekly schedule of junior sets, adult improver courses, and high-energy cardio sessions - plus our popular 'Rusty Rackets' for those getting back into the swing of things.
