A former tennis captain has denied sexually assaulting a young woman at his club.
Max Hankinson, 27, who was captain of the adult men's team at Angmering Lawn Tennis Club at the time of the alleged offences, will face trial at a Crown court.
On Tuesday, magistrates in Worthing heard Mr Hankinson denied touching a woman over the age of 16 at the tennis club in 2020.

Hankinson, from Angmering, made no indication of plea to four more charges related to another alleged victim, a girl aged 16.
They detail an alleged abuse of a position of trust by intentionally sexually touching the girl at the tennis club and another place in Angmering in 2020.
Angmering Lawn Tennis Club is in Homelands Avenue, East Preston, near Littlehampton.
It offers coaching to players of all ages.
Hankinson will appear again at Lewes Crown Court next month.
