Charlie Brooks

Charlie started playing Fives at St Paul’s School in 1997. He went on to play at Cambridge University, where he established himself as a doubles specialist, captaining a successful team in the Varsity Match in 2006. While at Cambridge he won the British Universities Doubles title four years in a row, twice with Brian Elfick and twice with Alan Beverly. This expertise in doubles play continued onto the senior circuit with a victory in the National U25 Doubles, once more with Alan Beverly, and then, in 2013, Charlie won the first of five National Doubles titles, partnering Will Ellison. They remain a highly potent force in this particular competition.
