"Jay is a class act: professional, friendly, and an expert in what he does. Can not recommend him and his abilities enough.

I had the best professional teachers from childhood. Maradona, Pele, and Phillips. A couple more, I’ll tell you in person. Pepperdine University graduate. I coached a lot of younger professional players when I was young, anything to get their attention and they listened. Euro 2024 and a lot of countries players. If you want me to coach your team to win a league it’s not difficult for me. I don’t need to play to coach. I prefer to play and coach.

Hello! I’m Seth. I love playing and teaching others golf. I have 16 years of golfing experience starting with high school competitive play and lessons with several coaches. Anything golf related you want to know, I should have the answer. I focus on swing fundamentals, theory, and game management. For absolute beginners, the goal is to never miss the ball. For the more intermediate players, the goal is to develop a consistent repeatable shot pattern. For advanced players, the goal is to be able to shape the ball on command and control ball flight.

"Seth was amazing! I can’t believe how much my confidence came back after just one lesson. I was hitting the ball straight and actually felt like I knew what I was doing. His instruction was clear, concise, and exactly what I was hoping for. He’s an incredible coach.

"The coach Bryon is always professional and super kind do my kids say we are to learn from Bryon.

Hi! I'm Nicole, a former junior tournament player. I have over 5 years coaching all ages and levels, from beginners who are just learning the basic strokes to tournament players working on strategy, conditioning, and mental toughness. Should you wish to train with me, I will make a personalized lesson plan to help you achieve your specific goals according to your level, experience, and desired time commitment. As a coach, I believe it is important to develop all parts of a tennis player. Sportsmanship, mental toughness, and strategy are as integral to a strong player just as much as the strokes and physical elements of the sport. If that sounds like something you are interested in for yourself or for your children, please reach out. Tennis provides lifelong rewards, and I look forward to being a part of your tennis journey. First Aid, CPR, and SafePlay certified.

"Nicole is one of the best tennis instructors I’ve seen. I grew up playing but my daughters wanted lessons from… not their dad, so I found Nicole and couldn’t be happier! Within their first semi-private they were already getting the ball over the net. So the results were there, but the girls also felt super comfortable with Nicole and are big into tennis now. Mission accomplished! Thanks Nicole!

Thanks Coach Branko!! -Michael
