Nurudeen Isa Appointed UEL Tennis Coordinator1

UELSports in conjunction with the Tennis Foundation have appointed a part time Tennis Coordinator. Nurudeen Isa is a high level tennis coach, and currently coaches across East London and in particular the Aldersbrook club in Wanstead. He has also formerly worked with the Nigerian Davis cup team.

David Cosford, the Director of Sport stated ‘Nurudeen is a great acquisition to UELSports, and will make a significant impact on the fortunes of tennis across campus. The most important factor now is for people to come forward as soon as possible who have an interest in getting involved. I encourage staff or students to contact Nurudeen to discuss further. Nurudeen will start a series of tennis coaching sessions, leagues and tournaments that should be attractive to any ‘budding Andy Murray’.

Sessions will include beginner only, intermediate and advanced sessions, and progress towards leagues and tournaments. Nurudeen will appoint a staff tennis committee with a mens and ladies captain, and is keen to create a sociable side to the structure, which welcomes all abilities. A ladies only session is also being planned.

On a part time (12hrs/wk) 2 year fixed term contract, Nurudeen will also be starting a part time MSc Sports Psychology course. The role is focused on increasing tennis participation across the campus by staff and students, from beginners to more advanced players. The recently formed student tennis club will benefit enormously from his input, as they have been entered into next year’s British University tournaments (BUCS).

UELSports have been working closely with a number of National Governing Bodies of Sport, and this relationship with the Tennis Foundation is a start of how other sports might look to work closely with UEL in the future as we get ever closer to 2012 and beyond.
