Tennis ACT is excited to welcome renowned tennis coach<\/span> and leader<\/span>, Milo Bradley to Canberra as he takes on the role of Tennis Australia <\/span>Nat<\/span>ional Development Squad Coach for the <\/span>ACT<\/span>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bradley has a long history of coaching in national and state positions having occupied positions in the Northern Territory, Western Australia and<\/span> most recently,<\/span> South Australia. \u00a0The <\/span>role<\/span> also signals a retu<\/span>rn to Canberra, where he coached<\/span> at the Australian Institute of Sport<\/span> as the AIS-Pro Tour Men\u2019s Coach\u00a0<\/span>for three years. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His coaching resume includes working with Casey Dellacqua, Matt Ebden, Thanasi <\/span>Kokkinkakis<\/span>, John <\/span>Millman<\/span>, Storm Sanders, Jess Moore as well as rising stars Charlotte <\/span>Kempenaers-Pocz<\/span> and E<\/span>dward Winter. \u00a0Bradley also captained the Australian Junior Davis Cup team in 2011 in which Canberra\u2019s Nick Kyrgios was a <\/span>member, <\/span>along with <\/span>Kokkinakis<\/span> and Blake Mott.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon arriving in Canberra, Bradley is excited to build on the <\/span>position of strength tennis in the ACT and region is currently experiencing in both performance and participation. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to assisting the ACT and region in \u2018batting above their heads\u2019 as they have previously under the guidance of Todd Larkham and Alun Jones. \u00a0Jumping into a role that leads the ACT and region Performance pathway after 15 years of former Head Coach, Todd Larkham\u2019s highly successful stint will be a challenge, but one that I am excited to take on\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTennis ACT and the ACT Government have built a first-class tennis facility at Lyneham that will guarantee plenty of tennis opportunities for years to come. \u00a0Already participation rates in ACT continue to climb despite the current climate, demonstrating to the ACT and region that facilities are important for the future of tennis and all sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my newly appointed role as National Development Squad Coach \u2013 ACT, it is vitally important to have good modern training facilities for young up and coming players to produce. \u00a0The fact that ACT has a tennis player ranked in the top 50, Nick Kyrgios, and he wants to live, train and stay in Canberra is an example that athletes can live in Canberra and the region for the duration of their career,\u201d Bradley added.<\/p>\n

Tennis ACT CEO, Kim Kachel is looking forward to seeing the impact Bradley will have<\/span>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Milo back to Canberra. \u00a0His experience will be absolutely invaluable to all coaches, athletes and parents from the ACT and region. \u00a0Milo is more than an excellent tennis coach \u2013 he is a brilliant leader and extremely well respected. \u00a0We look forward to seeing him work closely with the network of private coaches, their aspiring athletes and parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would also like to take the time to acknowledge the huge contribution of former staff, Todd Larkham and Alun Jones and the amazing job they have done in the performance and development space. \u00a0The ACT has always \u201cbatted above it\u2019s average\u201d in producing top players and Todd and Alun have been a critical part of this over many many years.\u00a0\u00a0 They leave a brilliant foundation and legacy for the sport and will remain actively involved in developing talented athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n
