We’re thrilled to welcome Elliot Raboy as our new tennis coach at Summertown Tennis Club! Elliot brings a lifelong passion for tennis, a wealth of experience, and a deep commitment to growing the sport in the Adelaide Hills.

Elliot’s tennis journey began on the clay courts of Melbourne, where he spent countless Saturdays honing his skills under the guidance of top-tier coaches. His love for the game has followed him through the years, leading him to coach privately in both Melbourne and Adelaide.

Since settling in South Australia in 2011, Elliot has become a familiar face in the local tennis community, both in the Hills and on the plains. He represented a Division 1 team in the Hills Tennis Association last summer and continues to be actively involved in junior tennis through his 9-year-old son, a budding tennis enthusiast. Being a parent of a young child has given Elliot a unique insight into motivating young players and guiding them toward their tennis dreams.

Elliot’s current coaching philosophy is shaped by his observations of Adelaide’s leading tennis coaches and his own experience supporting his son through the hotshot levels, competition and tournaments. He understands what it takes to nurture talent and build confidence—whether you're just starting out or aiming to go pro.

Off the court, Elliot keeps fit with trail runs through Belair National Park, bike rides, Bikram yoga, and weight training. His love for tennis spans generations, from legends like Edberg, Pat Cash, Sampras, and Agassi, to modern stars like Federer, Sinner, and Alcaraz.

Elliot is full of fresh ideas for coaching at Summertown and is excited to kick off Term 4 tennis coaching. Whether you're looking to improve your game, get your kids started, or simply enjoy the sport, Elliot is here to help.

Bonus: Elliot also offers tennis racquet stringing services and options for private lessons.
