Jay Barlow

Tennis Pro Coach 3

Coaching has always been a big part of Jay's life, from his first job as Tennis Instructor to training players on the WTA and ATP Tour.  Jay has been blessed with the opportunity to work with so many wonderful athletes and help them achieve their goals.  Tennis provides Jay with an avenue to teach something he loves while helping players grow as competitors and people.  

As a Tennis Pro Coach 3, Jay has over 20 years coaching experience.  Jay had a strong passion for the sport as a youngster at Huntington Park Tennis Club in Hamilton, where his grandmother was one of the founding members.  Jay's desire to play year round led him to the Rosedale Tennis Club where he trained for 5 seasons. Jay became the captain of the McMaster University Men's Varsity Team in Hamilton.  A full time transition to coaching followed, propelling him to integral roles at several leading tennis institutions.

Jay was born and raised in Hamilton where he currently lives with his wife and two children.  Jay is also a Level 2 Canada Hockey Coach.  Away from coaching, Jay says that he is working towards his "Dad of the Year" title.  Jay enjoys fishing and exploring the back country of Northern Ontario.
