With the Australian Open underway and interest in tennis at its peak, Williamstown’s Liston Tennis Club has chosen an ideal time to unveil its new coaching team.
The club has employed W&W Tennis to run its coaching program for 2025 and is holding a launch event on Sunday, January 19 to introduce them to both existing and prospective club members.
W&W Tennis co-head coach Daniel Walsh said the company was excited to be partnering with a historic club like Liston.
“It’s a privilege for us,” said Walsh, who shares head coaching duties with James Wong.
Along with Walsh and Wong, players will also have access to some of the company’s other coaches, including high-profile couple Luke and Daria Saville and Matt Reid, the coach of current Australian number one, Alex de Minaur.
Walsh said their coaching team caters for players of all levels and abilities.
“A big draw card for us is that we do have a lot of variety. We do high performance coaching, cardio tennis and ladies programs,” he said.
“We do a lot of coaching in all abilities tennis as well, so blind tennis, a lot in the autism space and wheelchair tennis as well.”
In order to fit everyone in, Walsh said he and his fellow coaches would be at the club “all day every day pretty much.”
“Through the day we run our ladies and all abilities programs and in the evenings we do more kids group coaching, high performance coaching, cardio tennis and we do a lot of one on one private coaching as well.”
On weekends, W&W coaches will oversee Liston’s pennant teams competing on a Saturday, while providing Sunday coaching sessions too, beginning with this weekend’s launch event.
