Coach Sabelo Mathebula
About Sabelo Mathebula
I am a Tennis Coach at Sunrise Tennis Academy. Our academy is currently running a tennis program in Nelspruit, Malelane, Barberton and Komatipoort. My coaching expertise is based on over 29 years of experience as a tennis player, having been under the mentorship of Charl Marais (a former professional coach who was also President of Tennis Coaches South Africa in the 90s). In the late 90s I got involved in development coaching, however I only attended a formal Tennis Course offered by Tennis South Africa in 2020.
I'm a Tennis Development Officer in Ehlanzeni District as assigned by the Lowveld Junior Tennis Association. I am also a Tennis Analyst on the SABC radio station Ligwalagwala FM which is a great platform to share knowledge and to promote tennis.
