I like to share my passion for tennis with students of all levels. My experience as an experienced player helps me tailor instruction for optimal growth and enjoyment on the court. I have over 15 years of playing experience and 3 years of coaching, working with both junior and adult players of different skill levels. My approach focuses on building strong fundamentals, proper technique, footwork, and match awareness in a structured and supportive environment. For kids, sessions emphasize coordination, discipline, and confidence while keeping training engaging and age appropriate. For adults, lessons are tailored to individual goals, whether learning the basics, improving consistency, or developing competitive skills. I offer both private and group lessons and adapt each session to the player’s level, pace, and objectives, with the goal of helping every student improve while enjoying the game.

"My forty plus years of golf have lead me to countless instructors training aids, and videos all the while struggling with the same problems and tendencies. Over the past few years, with Skip's guidance, I am seeing real progress in my game. His broad knowledge of the swing and mental approach to the game have drastically improved my golf fame and made it enjoyable again. Efficient, adaptable, and focused on real results, Skip has designed a teaching program tailored specifically for me and my natural tendencies and specific physical challenges. It is very apparent to me that had I found Skip sooner, I would have enjoyed the game more and certainly played at a higher level. Thanks Skip and see you at the range next week.
