BIO

Tennis has been my life since I was 6 years old and has allowed me to see the world! I've competed in ITF and ATP tournaments across Europe and North America, landed a college scholarship, and met some amazing people along the way. I'd be grateful to help you improve and pass on some of my pieces of tennis wisdom. Whether you're a competitive player, just starting out, wanting to try something new with your friends/partner, or just looking for a fun workout - see you on the courts!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Where will the lessons take place?

    Your coach will come to any court of your choice. Not sure of the closest court? No sweat, they will recommend a convenient location.
  • How do I know I’ll love my coach?

    We ask you questions and hand pick the perfect coach based on what you are looking for. We are so confident in our coach selection process that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If we can’t find the perfect instructor for you then we will refund your unused lesson credits.
  • Can I start with just one lesson?

    You sure can, although we offer a 100% money back guarantee so most students start with a lesson package to save money since there is no risk.
  • How do I get in contact with my instructor?

    Once you have booked your lesson package, you will immediately receive your instructor's contact information. The quickest way to schedule your first lesson is to call or text your coach and they'll get back to you asap. If your coach doesn't hear from you they'll reach out within 24 hours.
  • I’ve never played before, do you work with beginners?

    Absolutely! Our certified instructors regularly work with players of all ages and ability levels.
  • Can I bring a friend?

    Absolutely! Each extra person is only an additional $10 more per hour. Adding friends to your lesson is a great way to cut down on your lesson costs.

What my students are saying...

  • "I had a great first lesson with Raphael! I have experience playing so we spent this lesson working on some small technique changes to help improve my forehand and timing. With these small tweaks I was hitting with much better form and confidence by the end of class. I’m looking forward to my next lesson to build on this and work on some other technique and strategy."
