About Sasha Taylor

Zimbabwean born, Yorkshire bred

Hi Everyone. My name is Sasha Taylor and I am an LTA Level 3 qualified Club Tennis Coach. Before I started coaching, I competed myself. I represented Zimbabwe at the age of 12 being ranked No.1 U16 and U18. I have also represented York, North Yorkshire and Yorkshire and regularly compete in Regional Womens Open Tournaments. I have been running my tennis coaching academy for almost 15 years now and take great joy in encouraging new players to get onto the court. My tennis programs are inclusive for players all of ages ranging from 2 years old onwards, and abilities from beginner to advanced performance players.

I have a passion for promoting tennis in the local community and currently run extensive coaching programmes at Riccall, Wistow, Wheldrake, Melbourne and New Earswick Tennis Clubs. You can find a full list of coaching schedules in the coaching section.

"Sasha is compassionate, engaging and has excellent technical knowledge from her own playing experience. An asset to our team, Sasha always puts the children’s needs first ensuring her lessons are fun and progressive...."
Ian, Riccall Tennis Club
"I hadn't picked up a tennis racquet in over 30 years and I was nervous! Tennis used to be such an important part of my life. Within 2 minutes of my lesson I was back in my happy place. Sasha eased my nerves and built my confidence back, it feels like I never stopped playing.
Joanne, Wheldrake Tennis Club
From total beginner to now being able to compete in local tournaments and matches. I was surprised how quickly I was able to learn tennis and that is all thanks to my great coach, Sasha. She has such fantastic technical knowledge and her ability to teach it in a fun and exciting way is fantastic.
Emily, Riccall Tennis Club

"What is the single most important quality of a tennis champion? I would have to say desire, staying in there and winning matches when you are not playing that well." - Novak Djokovic
