About me...
Ben Haran
My name is Ben Haran and I’m the founder and creator of ConnecTennis.
My idea for ConnecTennis was built on a passion to continue supporting players I had coached that went to US college. Having spent time speaking to college coaches and players, I found there was a real opportunity and gap to give players some structure and support when they left their colleges for summer break.
At ConnecTennis, I believe we can help fill this gap and offer players exciting opportunities during these summer periods when they want to continue to train and compete ready to return to college tennis having improved.
