Katherine Maddock-Lyon has won the January Aegon Coach of the Month award for her great work managing the performance programme at David Lloyd Cardiff.
Through her dedication the programme has developed many players who have gone on to represent Wales and South Wales.
Katherine, who gives up a lot of her own time to take young players on tour and to events, has also initiated and ran the Mini Red World Circuit and Girls’ camps to provide Talent ID opportunities for South Wales.
On receiving the award, Katherine said: “It is a huge honour. I would also like to thank Tennis Wales for their ongoing support and guidance. Recognition of the hard work I've put in is greatly appreciated.
“I love the variety the job offers, running a circuit of tournaments for Mini Red players, working with National level junior players and organising internal social events as part of our thriving adult programme.
“I feel privileged to be able to help people enjoy tennis for life and will continue to look for ways to offer more opportunities to all our current and future players.”
