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 almost 30 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.
