Ben Jones the Head coach at Norbury Park Lawn Tennis Club on Ederline Avenue was awarded the British Tennis Coach of the Month award this week at the National tennis Centre in Roehampton.

Ben was nominated for his dedication to bringing tennis to local schools through a company he set up last year called 'Whats that racket?' and developing a popular coaching programme at Norbury Park Lawn Tennis Club. Ben, along with the committee secured funding for the club to help build new courts and state of the art floodlights at the club.

On receiving the award Ben said: "I was shocked to hear I was awarded the British Tennis coach of the Month. I can't take all the credit for the award. Norbury Tennis Club is the friendliest clubs I have been at.

"The members and committee have been so positive in the ideas I have and have supported me throughout my free taster sessions I have done in schools, hospitals, and community centres that I do in my time outside of the club through my company 'Whats that racket?'. I want to share this award with everyone at the club".
