Alex joins Edendale after running his own coaching academy in the UAE, bringing experience across every level of the game — from Red Ball beginners through to adult club players. His background includes junior performance coaching, tournament management, and leading coaching teams, giving him a broad, hands-on understanding of what a well-run programme needs. Alex is returning home to New Zealand and is looking forward to building something long-term at the club.

Eric grew up at Campbell Park Club as a junior player before heading off to university, and has since returned to tennis full-time. He's currently completing his JDC (ITF Level 1) qualification and progressing through it quickly. Known for his communication and organisational skills, Eric coaches across the full programme — from 5-year-old beginners through to adults, including midweek ladies, junior academy, and private lessons.

Ben made the leap from another career to pursue his passion for tennis, and has been coaching at Mt Albert Club, assisting alongside its established coaching team. Keen to take on more responsibility, Ben joins Edendale as part of our coaching team this term.
