a journey rooted in passion and experience
At Baseplay Tennis Academy, our story begins with a shared passion for tennis. Coaches Jonathan Disley and Tim Lee first teamed up in 2013 while coaching at university in the UK. Over a decade later, this collaboration has evolved into a thriving tennis academy in Singapore. Our journey reflects not only our love for the game but also a deep commitment to inspiring players and fostering excellence on and off the court.
Building Expertise Through Years of Coaching
With over ten years of coaching experience together, Jon and Tim have honed their craft, working with players of all levels—from beginners discovering the joy of tennis to competitive athletes striving for mastery. This extensive coaching background has shaped a methodology that blends technical precision, innovative training techniques, and a deep understanding of individual player development.
From the UK to Singapore: A Global Perspective
The transition from coaching in the UK to establishing a tennis business in Singapore has given us a unique global perspective. Having experienced different tennis cultures and training systems, we’ve developed a holistic approach that incorporates the best practices from around the world. This allows us to provide a rich and diverse learning environment that equips players to excel in any competitive setting.
A Philosophy Built on Collaboration
The partnership between Jon and Tim has been the cornerstone of our academy’s success. Our collaborative coaching philosophy emphasizes teamwork, adaptability, and continuous learning. These values are deeply ingrained in our training methodology, encouraging players to embrace challenges, support one another, and strive for their personal best.
Turning Passion into Purpose
What started as a shared love for coaching has grown into a purpose-driven mission to empower players of all ages. Over the years, we’ve helped countless students achieve their goals, from mastering fundamental techniques to competing at advanced levels. Our journey stands as a testament to the power of passion, dedication, and the transformative potential of tennis.
