Andrew Davey
Andrew Davey is an accomplished Head Coach and Manager with over 15 years of experience in tennis coaching and development. He has a rich background working across multiple clubs and organisations, including BaseLine Tennis Coaching, Queensland State Tennis Centre, and Tennis Gear, where he has honed his expertise in junior and adult tennis programs. Andrew specialises in player development, fostering tennis talent from grassroots to high performance, and building strong community engagement through his leadership roles.
His coaching philosophy is centred around creating well-rounded players. Andrew believes in developing not only the technical and tactical skills essential to success, but also the mental resilience, sportsmanship, and pure love for the game that define a lifelong athlete. His adaptable approach allows him to connect with players of all ages and skill levels, guiding them toward their individual goals, whether it is competing in tournaments or simply enjoying the game. Known for his supportive and motivating style, Andrew brings out the best in each player.
Beyond the court, Andrew is an all-around enthusiast for life’s simple joys and grand wonders. An avid astrophotographer, he loves capturing the beauty of the night sky, finding a sense of awe and tranquility in the stars and galaxies above. Family time is close to his heart, and he treasures every moment spent exploring the outdoors, sharing laughs, and making memories with his wife and daughter.
Of course, tennis is never too far from his mind! Andrew also enjoys playing socially, especially when it gives him the chance to “destroy” his wife on the court—a friendly rivalry that always brings a laugh. A lover of good stories, Andrew unwinds with a great book or movie, and he is happiest when surrounded by nature, finding calm and inspiration in the world around him.
Andrew is joined in Townsville by his wife, Angela, and daughter, Kiana, who are both looking forward to becoming part of the Tennis Townsville community.
