Over 40 years of playing experience and over 20 years teaching experience! I have played tennis since I was 6 years old and I first learned how to play tennis from my parents at an early age. I then began taking lessons from tennis instructors who had many years of playing experience. They brought a wealth of knowledge to me as a junior, which in turn helped me learn and excel as a junior player. I was one of the top 10 junior players in Texas and also competed in all national tennis tournaments around the country. It was an incredible experience and I very much hope to be able to pass on some of what I’ve learned to some of my tennis students in the San Antonio area!
"Greg’s skill in pinpointing my weaknesses really made a difference, and I appreciated how he focused on improving my game without overdoing it. If you’re looking for a lesson that’s quite helpful and tailored, Greg is worth trying.

Hi there! I’m Julian Lopez, a professional tennis coach who’s spent the past 35 years coaching and mentoring. My players have ranged from beginner, competitive junior, college, ITF and the tour.

I was an all-state high school golfer working carts at La Cantera. I then went to college, where I played golf and graduated with honors in sports management. After college, I got hired as an assistant golf pro, giving lessons and playing on the mini-tour simultaneously. I later relocated to my hometown of San Antonio to work at Golf Galaxy. After four years, I worked my way up to management and became a master club fitter, training and fitting for golf clubs. My journey in golf has equipped me with a deep understanding of the game, and I’m passionate about helping others improve their skills and enjoy this wonderful sport.
"Chris has been great with teaching my son. He even met us at a golf store to help fit him for his first pair of clubs!

"I’d say this lesson with Jared was brilliant. He’s really knowledgeable and keeps a calm, clear way of explaining things. The highlight for me was his good player insight, especially when we covered different shots. Though I’d appreciate more practice on singles game strategies, I think that’s something worth exploring more next time. Still, I walked away feeling more confident about my skills and appreciated Jared’s approach for keeping it straightforward. If you’re considering a pickleball lesson, it might be worth trying Jared for a balanced and constructive experience.
