Tom is the heart and soul of ProACE Sports, bringing over 18 years of coaching experience to our programs. His passion for tennis started at age 5, and since then, he has honed his skills both on and off the court. Tom's coaching journey has taken him from local courts in Bolton and Preston to prestigious tennis camps in the USA. As a Level 3 LTA qualified coach, Tom has worked with players of all levels, from beginners to high-performance athletes. He loves nothing more than sharing his expertise with children and adults, whether through school PE lessons, club sessions, or individual coaching. Tom's favourite shot on the court is the forehand drive volley, and his tennis idol is none other than Roger Federer. Join Tom at the club or reach out to him via email for lessons and enquiries.

Csilla, Tom's partner in both life and sports, brings her own dedication and expertise to ProACE Sports.

Specialising in Teddy Tennis and coaching younger players in the mini red category, Csilla has nurtured the talents of several county players under the age of 8.

 Lewis Tinsley's tennis journey began at the tender age of 4, and he quickly rose to play high-performance tennis for Lancashire as a junior for many years.

His boundless energy and enthusiasm shine through, especially in his interactions with younger children and juniors who admire and look up to him. With adult players, Lewis brings a professional yet competitive edge to his coaching style. Drawing from his personal experience, Lewis not only focuses on technical aspects but also imparts tactical wisdom to his players, helping them elevate their game to new heights. His favorite shot on the court is the inside out forehand, a reflection of his dynamic and strategic approach. Inspired by players like Nadal and Sinner, Lewis is passionate about passing on his love for the game to aspiring athletes of all ages.
