MATTHEW JENKINS
Matthew Jenkins has been at JEM Tennis from the start and Colin has been teaching him for the last five years. He represented Fareham and Gosport in the Hampshire Youth Games. He is a great junior to have in a session as he is always cheerful, keen, kind and has a great sense of humour. We also have coached his sister Georgia since she was 2 1/2 years old and she is following in Matthew footsteps as a key junior in our program.
DAISY AND POPPY FOX
Both girls are a joy to teach as they bring a huge amount of enthusiasm and personality to the sessions. They have already been moved up a group and are going to be entering their first competitions soon.
SAM GOODRIDGE
Sam Goodridge is the most improved Mini Red player this year. He has shown continued progression and improvement and has outstanding atheletic ability. He is a pleasure to have in a group and we look forward to him growing at JEM Tennis.
JASMINE NASH
Jasmine Nash has started entering LTA tournaments and was awarded the Portsmouth Grammar School Player of the Year. She is the most improved yellow ball player and shows consistent commitment in attending sessions with outstanding behaviour on and off the court. She is looking to become an assistant coach and help out with the younger children. She also hopes to be an inspiration to other girl players.
