The England Sports Group was founded by Clinton Lamprecht. The company has been coaching children tennis since 1991 when the first club was opened in Hampton, Middlesex. This club had a strong performance programme with the 2008 Junior Wimbledon Champion Laura Robson and British 2005 National Boys U/15 Champion Harry Skinner both starting their tennis careers at the club. This first club was called The Tennis Academy, but in 2001 the company became Tennis England with new clubs opening in Esher, Teddington, Weybridge, Witley and Twickenham. The company continued to focus on tennis until 2003 when it became a “total sports” company. Today the England Sports group provides sports coaching for children in 8 clubs and at more than 100 schools. In excess of 2000 children are coached each week in sports such as tennis, football, hockey, basketball, gymnastics, netball, badminton, archery, rugby, cricket and athletics.
