We are at the heart of the game
The Fives Court Company has
been set up to develop a more affordable fives court and to try to spread
the game of fives by offering these courts to schools, universities,
sports
centres and clubs around the
country and abroad.
It is
a partnership of two people: Nigel Cox and Jennifer Green working closely
with the national Fives Federation.
Nigel Cox, who is a retired
physician, has been playing Eton Fives for over 50 years and is almost
certainly the only person in the world to have built two fives courts,
using new court construction methods, for his own personal use They are in
northern Provence in France. He also played Winchester Fives for 20 years.
Jennifer Green runs her
own management consultancy firm
specialising
in sports training and management. Her clients have included the League
Football Association and the
England
and Wales Cricket Board, and she is currently working with the Fives
Federation to
formalise
and structure the training and accreditation of Fives coaches.
If
you are interested in buying a court, please contact us. We would be
delighted to discuss your needs and arrange to come and visit your site to
discuss the feasibility of building courts. We are also happy to arrange
taster sessions for sports teachers & pupils alike so they can try the
game. Why not try a catered coaching taster weekend (or longer) for staff
members or other beginners to the game in Northern Provence?
