Jonny Thomson has won March's Aegon Coach of the Month award for his work across many programmes, in particular the junior programme at Woking Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Jonny has been instrumental in making massive improvements in junior player numbers over the last year at the club and in the local area. He was promoted to the role as Head of Junior Tennis in 2012 and has worked to develop school links and promote the game in the Woking community.
In only two years, he has doubled the size of the junior programme from 182 taking part in weekly group coaching in January 2012, to 360 in January 2014.
His achievements have had the knock on effect in raising Aegon Team Tennis from 9 teams in 2012, to 17 for 2014 and having a record numbers of local schools sign up to take part in the local schools mini tennis competition at the club this summer.
On receiving the award Jonny said: "Receiving the Aegon Coach of the Month award was an unexpected surprise, having passed my Level 4 Qualification in February it has been a rewarding couple of months! I continue to enjoy my time on court, and feel lucky that I work with such a great team of coaches delivering the ever growing programme at Woking Lawn Tennis Club."
