Our Team - Steve Butcher

Steve Butcher

I have been teaching tennis for over 35 years and have gained a wealth of experience, having taught both Junior & Senior players of all ages, standards and abilities. In terms of performance tennis, I am a former Middlesex County Coach and have taught a number of high level junior national and international level players, including both Josh Page – former UK U16 National Champion, USA All American Title holder, and former ITF Junior World ranking of 123 – and also Jack MacFarlane – an ITF Junior World ranked 200 player. In addition, many of my past and present junior players have become county champions in their relevant age groups, with some reaching single figure UK national rankings. In 1995, I was very proud to receive the much coveted “Federation of Middlesex Sports Award” in recognition of my support for, and contributions to, the development of tennis in the county. In tandem with my coaching, I am also a qualified coach education tutor and assessor with the LTA (which endorses my other role in mentoring, training and developing the next generation of tennis coaches - some of whom make up our team here at Your Advantage Tennis Academy.) So why not get started now in the game for life? With high quality, specific, focused and professional tennis coaching, I will ensure you achieve the level that you wish to attain. Whether you want to learn to play tennis because you wish to acquire a new skill, get fit and meet new friends, or to compete to the highest level, I will ensure that I tailor your lessons accordingly to ensure that you reach your specific goals. Book an individual or mini group cluster lesson on either weekdays, weekends or evenings – with early mornings and late evenings also possible by request. Termly lessons are also available on request, so you can guarantee your regular weekly day and time that fits best within your schedule. Please do not hesitate to contact me via phone, text or e-mail to arrange a suitable day and time to get you started on court! I look forward to seeing you on court soon!
