Kenilworth Tennis, Squash & Croquet Club (KTSCC) is "delighted to announce" the appointment of Jenny McKenna as its new head squash coach, starting in September 2025.

The club would also like to thank Steve Townsend for his many years of service as head coach and is pleased he will continue to support KTSCC in an advisory role.

Jenny brings a "wealth of experience" as both an international player and highly respected coach.

She will spend the opening weeks meeting members, familiarising herself with the club's programmes, and planning the season ahead, before moving into the role full-time on 22 September.

A former junior international, Jenny represented county and country throughout her teenage years and competed in the World Junior Championships in Malaysia at 18.

After a brief period on the professional circuit, a shoulder injury curtailed her playing career at 23 — but her passion for coaching has since flourished.

Her coaching career highlights include:

• Running summer coaching camps at Princeton University (U.S.)
• Delivering coaching and sports development courses at degree level
• Serving as Head Coach at David Lloyd Cardiff
• Coaching as Wales Girls U17/U15 National Coach
• Representing Wales as a senior international and continuing to compete in Masters competitions

Alongside her squash expertise, Jenny holds degrees in Physiotherapy and Sports Development, which underpin her holistic approach to performance, progression, and player wellbeing.

Looking ahead, Jenny will focus on:

• Expanding and developing junior and adult squash programmes
• Increasing court usage and member participation
• Creating inclusive opportunities for all ages and abilities
• Supporting both competitive and social squash at every level

"I'm really looking forward to working with the KTSCC community and building on the fantastic foundation already in place," said Jenny.

"I can't wait to get started. If you have questions, or just want to get on court — contact me by email: [email protected] or visit the website."
