Let's get you on the court
I'm Simon Longhurst — a passionate Adelaide tennis coach. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your game, I'd love to help.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Simon Longhurst
I'm an Adelaide-based tennis coach and the person behind Centre Court Tennis. I've spent years helping players of all ages fall in love with this game — and I genuinely believe every player can improve with the right guidance and encouragement.
I worked for 13 years in the South Australian State Development program with Tennis SA working with the High performance players and the 22years at the Happy Valley Tennis Club as Head Coach.
I work hard to build junior pathways, support competitive seniors, and create a community where everyone feels welcome on the court. My coaching style is practical and hands-on. I focus on strong fundamentals, consistency, and building confidence — while making sure every session is genuinely fun.
