So that we can give you a little introduction to the people who make Topspin such a great place to send your children here is a quick description of Topspin's 2 owners. We would love to tell you all about our other coaches but we would be here all day.
PHIL LEIGHTON - Director
Phil has been running Topspin Activity Camps for over 15 years. He is one of the UK’s most established and well-liked coaches and has travelled all over the world running sports events. His passion for sport is incredible. His jokes on the other hand are terrible!
GEMMA DERRY - Director
Having danced professionally for 3 years Gemma found her calling as a dance teacher in 2005 and has never looked back. She is Topspin’s resident Dance Teacher and has more qualifications than you can shake a stick at. Not satisfied with 6 Associate and 2 Membership qualification’s with the Allied Dancing Association, she’s now training to be an examiner.
Swimming
Our swimming instructor is Dave Prince he is a Level 2 Swim Coach, and Caldy Swimming Clubs Coach he is also a Coach at Helen Diamond Swim School. The swimming groups are formed by ability.
