Helensburgh Tennis Club has welcomed a new coach to its team.
Jo Kerr is a level four coach who moved to the town from Aberdeen with her young family.
She has enjoyed a vast coaching career and is hoping to bring her expertise to the Helensburgh club.
She began her tennis career as a junior, playing for the North of Scotland junior county team, and coached at Westburn Tennis Centre and Cults Tennis Club in Aberdeen. Jo has also coached in Botswana.
During her time in Aberdeen Jo worked closely with their Active Schools service and she hopes to do the same in Helensburgh.
She said: “I’m delighted to be working with Helensburgh Tennis Club. I will be coaching juniors as well as the adult beginners and adult improver classes.
“The club has a vibrant morning section and I hope to be able to lend my skills and improve their game.”
President Bobby Kerr said: “We are delighted to welcome Jo to join our team alongside John Wilson, Chris Bowman and 17-year-old Ross Hamilton, who is currently attending his level two course.
“Jo’s experience will allow us to deliver more high-quality tennis coaching to the residents of Helensburgh.”
The club is currently looking at its long-term development plan to increase the amount of tennis played in Helensburgh by going into schools and working closely with the local Active Schools service.
