Although he is the current club chairman, he is also the club tennis coach! Chris Lockyer is an LTA Licensed coach and also a PTR (Professional Tennis Registry) tennis Instructor. He spent a year at a David Lloyd indoor sports facility in Hull coaching adults and junior players.

Playing tennis runs in his family; his grandfather, Chas Lockyer, was a tennis coach back in the 1920's - one of the first professional players - and not allowed to compete. One of his pupils was a chap by the name of Fred Perry - the last British man to win Wimbledon! You will not have heard of Chas Lockyer because to play at Wimbledon you had to be an amateur. If an amateur was seen to have coaching from a professional it was deemed as 'cheating' so it was all done behind closed doors! Chas also was coach to the Spanish Royal family he set up the first Spanish Davis Cup Team. Although Chris has yet to do that, he can provide excellent coaching at all levels - give him a ring if you want to improve your game! You'll be amazed at how quickly you can improve. Old dogs can learn new tricks! - its a lie that they can't! You don't have to be an old dog either!
