"Carlton is an amazing coach! I had never picked up a racket in my life and now I'm able to hit a forehand, backhand, and serve after just six lessons! He's knowledgable about the game and works on the basics with you, paying close attention to the little things about your form. Carlton is also very kind, easy to talk to, patient and positive. I recommend Carlton to anyone looking to start tennis for the first time, or, a seasoned pro who wants to up their game! "

"Our boys (aged 11 and 8, intermediate levels) loved their lessons with Carlton! He is an amazing coach and warm individual who manages to get the most out of the kids he trains and to have fun while doing it. We would recommend Carlton to anyone, whether novice or expert, young or old. Thanks again!"
