DIRECTOR

GAVIN YIP

“Why am I so passionate about tennis? I guess, for me, it’s about the friendships I’ve made, the tennis community; it’s a great form of stress relief; anyone can play, it’s great for mental strength and fitness. If I can inspire the next generation of players to pick up a racquet when I’ve truly achieved something.”

Director, Gavin Yip was born into a sporting family and grew up playing tennis in Sydney’s Inner West – His passion for the game led him to complete his qualifications making him a Club Professional Tennis Coach (Level 2).

Gavin as a player progressed into elite squads, whilst competing at local, club, regional, state, national and international levels throughout his junior years. Because of this, Gavin is more than qualified to be working in the field of tennis and is excited about the challenges that lay ahead.

Gavin has also strung racquets at many events and professional tournaments. He has been a stringer at the Sydney International from 2010-2015.

Gavin has been coaching in Schools since 1998 and in that time, has introduced and shared his passion for the sport with generations of children, this is something that he actively continues to do and promote.
