Tennis Lessons
Local and seasoned tennis professional available for tennis lessons for all ages and abilities.
I teach all tennis strokes and emphasize proper stroke production and use repetitive drills to create muscle memory and quicker reaction times. If appropriate, physical conditioning exercises and drills can be introduced to prepare the body for agility and strength.
I also provide 1:1 coaching for students of all ages to prepare for competitive match play.
