For those who may not know me, my name is Aidan Wiggins and I have been a part of Glan Aber and the community since I was 8 years old. My coaching philosophy is to make use of the whole court and enjoy trying to push the boundaries of it.  My goal is to get as many people, whatever their age playing either socially or competitively and enjoying the sport I have loved, ever since I joined Glan Aber some 25 years ago.  I am passionate, dedicated, and excited to show you all what I have planned over the next few months.

Firstly, thank you for all the kind messages. I really hope I can do Jo proud, I will always look fondly on the last 5 years and all that she taught me. Like everyone, I wish her all the success and happiness going forwards. Thank you to the committee for trusting me to continue the great work of all the coaches at Glan Aber over the years.

In the very near future, I will be able to introduce you all to a few exciting new projects, for example:

• ACTA Coaching App: this will be the hub for all things coaching; courses, camps, tournaments and an easy way to keep in touch with everyone.
• Junior Club Afternoon:  We are currently readying a junior club afternoon for Saturdays hosted by Lotte, dates TBC
• Coaching Sponsor: ACTA have sourced a new striking coaching sponsor, TenX Pro. Based in Australia, they are bringing pro stock racket (professional players) technology to the masses. They are the only company in the world doing this. It is truly game changing. I’ve personally played several matches with them and was absolutely blown away by the difference. Please let me know if you would like any more information, or a hit with them as I have test rackets available for trial.

ACTA have also brought Strung2Tight on board, they are UKRSA qualified stringers. They can look after racket customisation and help with injury prevention, you will be amazed by how much they can help push your game on. They have a great knowledge and are at the cutting edge on all things rackets and strings. If you are in need of a restring at the moment then please send me a message and I can arrange for you with a 48 hour turn around time.

There is a comprehensive coaching programme for adults and juniors. Group and individual lessons are available.

Private coaching rates per hour: Aidan (UKCC4) £22  and Lotte (UKCC2) £12 - lessons can be shared.  

All coaches are LTA accredited.

Non-members may attend coaching but there is a £3 fee per visit
