BIO

Hi, my name is Chris & I've been coaching for 15+ years. I became a teaching pro after college & ended up coaching at multiple tennis clubs across the country. I've worked with all ages & levels in group & private settings & continue to enjoy coaching & spreading my passion for the game! I tailor my lessons to each player's needs. If you're a beginner, we'll focus on basic strokes & simple drills to build a great foundation. For intermediates, we'll fix those technique issues that are holding you back & learn some new strategies & patterns of play. For tournament players, I'm a great hitting partner & can give you the challenge you need to win more matches & force improvement. And with kids, I make lessons fun, keep them motivated, & start them off with great fundamentals. THINGS TO REMEMBER: 1) I teach players ages 10 and up outdoors only. 2) Semi-private and group students must be similar ability. 3) No parents on court during kids' lessons please.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely! Our certified instructors regularly work with players of all ages and ability levels.
