Who we are

Ace Tennis Victoria is a specialist schools tennis coaching business based in the Bayside area. We partner with early learning centres and primary schools to deliver inclusive, high-energy programs that help every child build confidence, coordination and a love of tennis.

Josh Dawson Head Coach

Josh brings over 17 years of tennis coaching experience across both the UK and Australia. He has worked extensively with primary and secondary schools in the UK, and coached at both Oxford and Oxford Brookes Universities, where he led Oxford Brookes to back-to-back promotions and a National Cup Final.

Since relocating to Melbourne, he has been coaching across the Bayside area while continuing to compete at a high level, currently ranked inside the top 70 in Victoria and playing pennant. Josh combines elite playing experience with a proven coaching track record, delivering sessions that are engaging, structured, and tailored to players of all levels.

Harry Strudley School Partnerships

Harry has a background in high-level sport, competing in both football and road and track cycling, where he achieved top 20 rankings and competed at a national level. He went on to study Sports Science at the University of Bath, specialising in physiology, and brings a strong foundation in conditioning, nutrition, and performance coaching.

Alongside his sporting background, Harry has built and led multi-million dollar businesses, developing a commercial and strategic skillset that underpins Ace Tennis Victoria. His focus is on creating a next-generation coaching environment — one that not only develops better players, but gives young people the same opportunities for growth, confidence, and life experience that sport provided him.
