I would like to share a quick note affirming Sharen Micallef, the tennis coach of “Challenge Tennis”, of Bangor, in the Menai area. I have known Sharen for over 10 years as my wife and I have had our two boys coached since they were six and seven. In what seemed no time at all, the boy’s fundamentals of tracking, hitting balls and technique had progress to enable the boys to be placed into “competition” tennis for Illawarra Suburbs Lawn Tennis Association, Junior Branch. This process was made ever so simple by Sharen’s organisations skills and the seamless preparing of the boys for this next step in tennis. Throughout this time Sharen and her team have been able to promote the boys in all grades of tennis then into Interdistrict levels. Sharen has been able further improve the boys tennis from squad training to include private lessons. They have been taught solid platforms for not only tennis but other life lessons along the way.
Sharen and her coaches have a wonderful ability to cater for all levels of players abilities. You will find that whatever level and age your children are they will develop friendships in this tennis environment.
Sharen has a tremendous ability ensure that your kids are cared for whilst in her care.

Sharen from Challenge Tennis is a very professional and dedicated coach who is invested in every one of her students. My three girls and I have been with Sharen for over 9 years now. She has coached them from when they first picked up a racquet to now playing at a high level.
The skills and techniques they have learnt, have been paramount in developing their tennis ability. Sharen’s coaching strategies and knowledge of the game ensures that her players can use this effectively in all competitions they play in, whether it’s the local Saturday morning comp, Junior Development Series (JDS) round robins up to Junior Ranking Tournaments. Sharen always works to the student’s abilities and strengths while also pushing them to strive to achieve their best.
Sharen’s group lessons are fast paced and engaging. She creates a friendly environment that allows great friendships to be made.
Sharen’s private lessons are specifically catered for each student and has vastly improved my daughters’ tennis. The holiday tennis camps are so much fun and informative, the girls still continue to attend as teenagers.
Sharen is an exceptional coach who is very organised and always conducts herself in a professional manner.
