Through my experience as a coach and player, I hope to create a fun environment for kids to get better at tennis. On Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's, I hope to have players that are tournament players that want to be pushed and coached in an aggressive manner. On Tuesday's and Thursday's, I hope to accommodate a wide range of players from beginner to advance.

Tennis is a very technical sport and it is challenging to learn new strokes in a group environment. Group situations are more for strategy and improving what you have as a player. Footwork and general stroke mechanics are taught, but for a player to relearn a habit, it can be very time consuming and require one-on-one attention. I would encourage all parents that are serious about getting their children better to combine both clinic and private lessons to have the optimum effect on their tennis game. The Sport of a Lifetime!
