“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Coach Dan James as part of my son’s early tennis development journey—and I can genuinely say it’s been a positive and encouraging experience.
Dan has a wonderful way of connecting with young players. His coaching style is calm yet engaging, striking that perfect balance between technical instruction and building confidence. My son always leaves his sessions with a smile, feeling both challenged and empowered.
Dan is observant, patient, and tailors his sessions to bring out the best in my child. He recognises when to push and when to encourage, which has been crucial in helping him build resilience and joy on court.
As a parent, I appreciate how approachable and communicative Dan is. He keeps us informed of progress, areas of focus, and opportunities to stretch our son’s potential. His professionalism and passion for the sport really shine through.
We look forward to continuing this journey with Coach Dan and seeing our boy grow not just in skill, but in confidence and character.
Thank you, Coach Dan, for the impact you’re making!”
“My daughters have been having lessons at Dan James Tennis for a few weeks now and they have improved considerably since then. Dan is very good at determining cause of technical errors, clearly communicating and demonstrating corrections and going over until fixed. In just under 3 months, my older daughter’s technique has improved significantly, she’s serving better and making better decisions when rallying and gaining more confidence in her game.
We were so impressed with her progress that we signed up her younger sister as well and she’s also enjoying her lessons and improving.
To give an example of how remarkable a tennis coach Dan is, he spent a whole afternoon watching my daughter play in a tournament so he could better help her improve. No matter your level of skill, if you’re looking to learn or improve on your tennis I’ll highly recommend Dan James Tennis.”
“Dan has been coaching my 8-year-old, and we’ve seen a remarkable improvement in both movement and shot technique in a short period of time. He is incredibly patient, explains instructions clearly, and gives immediate feedback—something that’s especially valuable for a child who struggles with focus. I would highly recommend him.”

We made the decision to switch our daughter from her previous tennis club to join Dan's, and it has been an excellent choice. Since starting under Dan's coaching, we've seen a remarkable improvement in our daughter's tennis skills, more so than the entire two years she spent at her previous club. Not only does she love going to the sessions, but Dan also has a fantastic way with the kids. The games they play are not only enjoyable but also help set the groundwork for them to become skilled players in the future. We couldn't be happier with our decision, and we're excited to see our daughter's progress under Dan's guidance. Highly recommended! ‘JAK’
Been playing at Dan James Tennis for a few months now- Great bunch of people with varying abilities and Dan manages the sessions exceptionally to ensure everyone has a good time. Sessions are kept fresh and engaging as drills are frequently changed. Dan is a lovely chap and I would recommend the club to players of any ability ‘FRED’
I have joined Dan Tennis Club recently and it was the best decision I have made. All club members are very helpful and supportive and Dan as a coach always makes sure that everyone is involved. I highly recommend to join Dan’s tennis club if you want to learn/improve tennis skills in a fun and friendly environment. ‘ZIVILE’
Dan has been teaching my two children tennis for more than three months. He is a fantastic coach, very good with children. His lessons were always full of fun. My two kids have made remarkable progress. My 6-year-old daughter was not able to catch a ball three months ago and now she can do more than 20 shots in a row. The tennis court couldn't be better. It has a cover so it doesn't matter whether it is 40 degrees outside or pouring rains. I also like the flexibility in booking. You can book one lesson in advance, unlike other coaches who normally require a whole month or term booking. All in all, we are very happy with Dan's tennis lessons and would highly recommend him. ‘SHERRY
Dan is a brilliant tennis coach, my son has come on leaps and bounds since working with Dan. My son previously went to a different club so has a good starting point, but Dan has managed to work on more advanced techniques, allowing my son to develop even further. My son says Dan is brilliant to work with, and I always find Dan pleasant and welcoming. I would recommend Dan to new starters as well as more advanced players. ‘DONNA’
Absolutely fantastic experience having Dan as our coach for me and my son. His depth of tennis, fun yet engaging game tactics and amiable personality help a whole lot when in court and learning from Dan. I would be recommend him as a coach is you are looking to learn or improve your tennis. ‘HABEEB’
Dan James is a super lovely guy and a great tennis coach. He’s very patient with the kids and has great facilities. We will be with Dan for as long as possible! ‘ROWLAND’
Really friendly club, felt so welcome from the start. All under a dome so a massive positive for playing tennis throughout the year. The coach is friendly and is happy to give you advice and tips on your game. Recommend wholeheartedly. ‘ANDREA’
We've officially been attending weekly classes for my 9 year old for a month now and I couldn't recommend Dan enough. Slow and steady progress, but in just a few lessons my son is already doing so well. He attends a small class with some lovely boys and the atmosphere is really friendly and welcoming. Everyone is very encouraging which allows all the children to make progress with no judgment. Signing up was super quick and easy and the flexible booking system works perfectly for us. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn ‘ADELE’
Well run tennis sessions, Dan is an excellent coach and engages everyone that comes to the session. A lovely group of people that make you feel welcome instantly. ‘Methab’
It's my great pleasure to recommend Dan James Tennis to anyone interested to improve their tennis game. Over the Winter period I was on holiday in the UK from Australia (where I am ranked No 1 in the Masters 75+ age group), and I wanted to join an active tennis community. I approached a couple of Clubs but was not welcome. When I phoned Dan, he was very friendly and welcoming. He invited me to have a hit twice a week with one of his evening groups. Despite some very cold temperatures, Dan made our tennis good fun with a mixture of drills, exercises and matches, with some insightful coaching as required. This kept us warm and challenged, and therefore made for an enjoyable evening.
I would recommend any standard of tennis player, including a beginner, to give Dan James Tennis a go. ‘DAVID CADMAN’
One of the outstanding Tennis Clubs in Medway. Dan has been teaching my two children tennis for few months now, he is very friendly with our children and a brilliant coach. My two kids have made remarkable progress and his way of coaching is full of fun, and he tailors the sessions to suit the ability level of my kids and always making sure that they develop and improve in the best way possible for them.
I always find Dan pleasant, welcoming and approachable, he never hesitated to give feedback after lessons and I am really impressed with Dan’s patience and the friendliness with the children. We are very happy with Dan's tennis lessons and would highly recommend him. We will be staying with Dan for a long time to come. ‘JEEVANA
My son has been having tennis lessons with Dan for a few months, and he is a fantastic tennis coach. Dan tailors the sessions to suit the ability level of his students, making sure that they develop and improve in the best way for them. Dan makes the lessons fun with new challenges every week to test and practice different skill sets, while always maintaining an underlying focus on the basics. He is clear in telling and showing them what they need to change to play better, putting his students back on the path to getting it right from the moment they do it, and also in praising them when they do something right - which always gets a big smile. My son really looks forward to his weekly lesson, and I can't recommend Dan enough. ‘VYKKI’
Dan James is absolutely excellent! My son loves the tennis sessions with Dan and looks forward to every session. He has a very friendly and encouraging coaching style and is great with beginners and helping players progress and improve their skills. ‘PIERS’
Dan and his team came along to our school summer fair with the tennis set up, the kids were all quite curious to get involved and in less than 10 minutes Dan knew their names and was engaging them in games and mini tournaments. Children of all ages and abilities were made to feel welcome to have a try out, really impressed with Dan’s patience and the friendliness of his team. ‘KAREN’
Very friendly environment for tennis players of all abilities. Dan is a clear communicator and and engaging instructor. Sessions are fun, interactive and informative for improving your game. Highly recommend. ‘BEN’
Dan Tennis is not just tennis. It is a vibrant and engaging experience. I had the luck to participate in some of his tournaments and were absolutely brilliant. From beginners to advanced tennis players Dan Tennis accommodate all and more! ‘RICCARDO’
My daughter recently started with Dan and throughly enjoys her weekly sessions. Dan is a very patient and great with the kids. Really easy to book sessions online and Dan is always ready to answer any questions.
Wouldn’t send her anywhere else now. Highly recommend Dan. ‘CLAIRE’
Our son has attended a few of Dan's sessions and he is really enjoying them, Dan has a great way of keeping the children engaged in lots of different activities/ games. Our son always looks forward to going along on Mondays and he is picking up so many different skills which are showing a improvement in his playing. ‘KIRAN’
