About Broadstone Tennis Club
James and Harry both have a wealth of tennis experience. They first met as young boys playing on the tennis circuit and their passion for great tennis has brought them together once again. In the midst of the COVID pandemic, which brought the tennis world to a standstill, Broadstone Tennis Club was born.
We look forward to meeting you all and creating an exciting tennis hub in the heart of Broadstone.
James Whike
James began playing tennis at the age of four and immediately fell in love with the sport. By the age of 16 he had relocated to America and there played professionally on the ATP circuit, training intensively with individuals who have become household names on the world tennis stage: John Isner, the Brian Brothers and Victoria Azarenka, to name but a few.
Now firmly back in the UK, he loves sharing this wealth of knowledge with his clients. He enjoys teaching a variety of different abilities and can cater to your individual needs. Whether you are a performance player looking to excel, a child being introduced to the sport for the very first time or a family unit looking to find the perfect exercise to enjoy together, James has the skillset and expertise to take your game to the next level.
Harry Butler
Harry trained at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain under the watchful eyes of Rafael Nadal, which afforded him the opportunity to work with top tennis pros and coaches such as Carlos Moya, amongst many others. During his time at the Academy Harry became a hitting partner to Rafa himself, a truly incredible experience.
Harry has enjoyed a very successful career on the junior world tennis circuit; he was seeded in the ITF top 200 and UK top five juniors in 2017. He is immensely proud to have represented Great Britain on the tennis world stage.
With this wealth of experience, Harry loves to share his knowledge of the game and delivers high quality, fun and stimulating sessions to all ages, from novices to top level performance players.
