About Advantage Tennis

St. Heliers Tennis Club has an active coaching programme for Adults and Juniors of all ages and abilities, run by Advantage Tennis. Our resident coach Rachel Clark is very experienced in all types of coaching, and been here over 20 years. We are fortunate to have Sarah Wardenburg on-board fulltime, focusing on high performance juniors, privates and adults. We also welcome Hilary Woodham to the team, as of July 2024. Hilary is also very experienced, having been head coach at a number of Auckland clubs, and we are excited to bring her on-board and have her add to the awesome team we have. Rachel, Sarah and Hilary are supported by a great team of junior coaches, bringing a combination of fun, learning and experience to the courts: Alex Binns, Ben Taylor, Mike Moran,and junior assistants. We are grateful to have so many Tennis NZ qualified coaches at St Heliers.


Rachel and her team have a priority of introducing tennis for a lifetime to both kids and adults in the community. The focus is on tennis at grassroots level, as well as providing pathways and progressions of every age.
