Private Lessons & Coaches in Lakehills, TX
These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
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, I'm Coach Henry. Before diving into my background, I want to share my passion for coaching. I am dedicated to helping players refine their game and discover their own love for the sport. As a 4.5 rated Pickleball player with more than a year under my belt, I've built upon my history as a former 5.0 tennis player. I decided to switch to PB for a change of pace and soon made my mark by winning multiple tournaments at the 3.5 level. Our lessons will thoroughly cover both the forehand and backhand techniques, always emphasizing the critical importance of a correct follow-through. Join me, and together we'll ensure you have the skills and confidence to compete with anyone on the court!
"I’d say Henry’s lesson was quite focused and helpful, especially with opportunities for improvement in mind. The emphasis on form and problem areas was pretty clear, and I feel more confident about sharpening those skills. Though I still need to work on a few specifics, it’s encouraging to see steady progress. Still, I might try a couple more lessons to really hone in on those details.

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’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.
