Transitioning to coaching three years ago, I bring a wealth of experience from my years on the court. I've coached kids playing at the national level and individuals with varying competitive backgrounds, putting in a dedicated effort to help each player reach their full potential.

"Level of coaching far exceeds any expectation I may have had regarding how long it would take me to learn Tennis. Coach Milton, has the ability to brake down body movements and allow the brain to train muscle memory. Coach uncomplicated the game and allowed me to play my game.
I'm originally from Poland and started playing tennis when I was 7 years old. It quickly became my passion. I worked hard and became one of the top 10 players in Poland, traveling around Europe to play in ITF tournaments. In college, I played for a Division 1 school and helped my team win two regional championships. After graduating, I turned my focus to coaching. I've used my extensive playing experience to guide and develop young players. I worked with local tennis pros and as an assistant coach at a tennis academy in Minneapolis. Alongside coaching, I've also enjoyed being a counselor at an elementary school, where I get to positively influence young children. Drawing from my rich background, I became deeply involved in coaching, offering my expertise and experience to budding talents. I collaborated with local tennis professionals and worked as an assistant, imparting knowledge and fostering growth in a tennis academy situated in Minneapolis. In tandem with my coaching endeavors, I found immense joy in working as a counselor in an elementary school, cherishing the opportunity to make a positive impact on young minds.
"Marta is a great teacher. She pushes me to give my 100% and focus on my footwork. She made a few tweaks to my groundstrokes and serve that made a huge difference in my game. She is extremely patient and you can tell she loves tennis. All lessons were always fun.
With seventeen years devoted to teaching tennis and a high level of personal play, I foster a positive environment for skill development. My approach blends technical instruction with strategic thinking, ensuring a comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience for all levels.

Phoenix's climate supports outdoor tennis nearly year-round, with the trade-off that summer heat pushes the prime lesson window to early mornings and late evenings from June through September. Most Phoenix tennis coaches teach on hard courts at public parks (Encanto Sports Complex, Granada Park, Nevitt Park, Pierce Park, Rose Lane Park) which keeps lesson costs accessible compared to club-only markets. The active coach roster is unusually deep for a city this size: a 4.0 USTA-rated doubles specialist, a college tennis team competitor, a 30-year career coach, a 15+ year tennis pro, and a coach who has played since age 3 through college. That spread lets a Phoenix student match a coach to a specific goal: USTA league prep, junior development, adult fundamentals, or doubles tactics. The dry desert climate means hard court is the default surface here; clay is rare, and almost all match play in the Valley happens on hard courts.
| Format | Participants | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $80-$140 / lesson | Fastest improvement, individualized stroke and footwork feedback every shot. |
| Pair or trio | 2-3 students | $50-$100 / person | Spouses, friends, or doubles partners who want shared cost and shared rally time. |
| Group clinic | 4-6 students | $50-$80 / person | Lowest cost per session; high-volume hitting and live-ball drills; less individual correction. |
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build the foundation - grip, ready stance, forehand, backhand, and a basic serve toss. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | Players who can rally consistently work on specific weaknesses - second serve, kick serve, backhand slice, doubles positioning. |
| Advanced | Weekly or every 2 weeks | 90 min | Tournament or USTA-league players - match-pattern drilling, serve-and-return work, live point play, and tactical review. |

Try Andrew R.October through May is the prime tennis season. In summer (June-September) book before 9am or after 6pm and consider a partial July-August pause - mid-day desert heat is too intense for sustained outdoor play.
