Our Coach

DANNY SOUSA
Head Coach of MITS Indonesia

“I spent 10 years in Singapore (5 with MITS running the Tanglin Club and UWC SEA) and the past 2 years running squads in Sydney with many ATP, WTA and ITF world ranked juniors, before joining MITS Indonesia to bring the worlds best training methods to Bali.”

Danny has been coaching and running tennis events for over 35 years and gives MITS a wealth of experience for about 11 years so far. Among many other players, Danny has trained world number 1 and 3 times Grand Slam winner Ash Barty in Brisbane (when she was 14) – the same squad had Jason Kubler, Australian Open Doubles winner and ATP high of 63 in the world.

He can work with not only elite juniors, but young children who are learning to hit for the first time or adults who are playing the game of tennis to stay fit. He remains engaged all the time and loves working with all ages and abilities. He spent a majority of his time working with juniors in Sydney, Australia before moving to Singapore in 2013 to embark on a new coaching journey. Danny can also speak multiple languages including English, Spanish and Portuguese.
