Stefano D’Elia
With over a decade of experience in tennis coaching, Stefano brings a deep passion for developing players of all levels, from beginners to competitive athletes.

Confidence, consistency, and a genuine love for the game — that's what great tennis is built on.

Solid fundamentals, match confidence, and a positive approach — tennis for players of all levels.
Richard Holman
Richard has been coaching tennis full time since 2005, working with players across clubs, schools and private settings in both the UK and Australia. A Tennis Australia Club Professional Level 2 coach who is also LTA and PTR qualified, he brings a breadth of experience that spans every level of the game. A former club champion in singles and doubles in the UK and a player for the University of Central Lancashire, Richard loves the variety of coaching four‑year‑old beginners and high performance players in the same day — and his passion is teaching people a sport for life.
Coaching a four‑year‑old beginner and a high performance player in the same day — that variety is what I love about this job.
Tegan Georgieski
Tegan is a high performance coach and player with over seven years of coaching experience across a range of tennis clubs. She joined DNTA in 2025 and has since worked across multiple venues and taken on leadership responsibilities, including managing a club. Having played tennis since the age of three and competed for over 11 years at junior and open levels in national tournaments across Australia, Tegan brings real match‑play insight — and a sense of fun — into every session. With a background in education and a teaching diploma, she particularly enjoys working with younger players, helping them grow not just as athletes but as individuals, and creating an environment where players feel confident, supported and motivated.
I love being part of each player’s journey — helping them build confidence, skill and a love of the game on and off the court.
