Des O’Reilly leads the coaching programme at Falmouth Sports Club. As an LTA Master Club Coach (Level 5) and Senior Performance Coach (Level 4) with an honours degree in Sport Science, Des brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the court.
After 20 years of coaching in London at prestigious venues including the Vanderbilt Club, The Hurlingham Club, and The Lensbury, Des moved to Cornwall to launch Falmouth Tennis Company in 2012.
As well as coaching, Des continues to compete, representing Cornwall at Senior County Level.
The coaching programme at Falmouth Sports Club is designed to support players of every age and ability — whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time, building confidence in match play, or looking to sharpen your competitive edge.
Whatever your level, there’s a place for you on court. Our coaching includes structured group sessions, technical guidance, and match play support.
Falmouth Sports Club offers team tennis training, giving players the opportunity to sharpen their match play skills in a supportive and competitive setting. Sessions emphasise tactics, teamwork, and fitness to prepare players for league fixtures and tournaments.
Coaching is available for players of all ages and abilities, offering personalised guidance to help improve technique, confidence, and overall game performance. Sessions are tailored to individual goals, whether you’re new to tennis or looking to improve your game.
Starting this September, we’re launching a new Adult Beginners class. It’s the perfect way to learn the game from scratch or return after a break, in a relaxed and supportive environment.
