About us

Cagney Tennis Academy first evolved at Eleebana Tennis Centre in 1992 after Head Coach and owner, Derek commenced coaching with a handful of students. Through hard work, dedication and patience, the business has grown to span 5 centres today across the Lake Macquarie / Newcastle regions, with many former students now bringing their own children back to learn how to play tennis.

Derek and his team have coached thousands of players over the 25+ years they have been operating and have mentored children in the U10, U12, U14, U16 & NSW State Team Carnivals, as well as coached players with State and National Rankings. Some former students have also been successful with careers on the Men’s professional ATP Tour.

With a focus on professionalism and correct technique, Cagney Tennis Academy is the most experienced and leading teaching academy in the region.
