About Bill

Hello, my name is Bill and I am a Danville tennis coach with nearly five decades of competitive playing experience and more than 20 years of coaching experience across juniors, high school athletes, USTA competitors, adults, and recreational players. Unlike many coaches who focus only on feeding balls, I emphasize complete player development: - Modern stroke mechanics - Match strategy and point construction - Serve consistency and placement - Footwork and movement efficiency

What students say...

"“Coach Bill brings a rare combination of technical knowledge, positivity, and competitive experience. My son’s serve, movement, and match confidence improved tremendously after training with him. He genuinely cares about player development and creates a motivating environment every lesson.”

I am one minute from the courts in Mountain View at Whisman Park.

What students say...

"The lesson went well, really, focusing on one section at a time meant Emily wasn't overwhelmed, which was quite helpful for her first time back on the court. Though I hope her forehand starts resembling her previous shape soon, I appreciated how the approach was measured and clear. Still, I think with a bit more attention there, her technique could really improve. Ryan's way of breaking things down makes a difference, if you're thinking about trying him out, I’d say he's worth considering to see how steady guidance can support your game.

The first lesson for a beginner player

Coach Jay-Ar

Assess level: With advanced players I skip the basics conversation entirely. First lesson is about seeing your game live — shot tolerance, footwork under pressure, patterns you default to, and where your game breaks down against pace or spin. I’m evaluating like a 5.0-level competitor would: what’s your identity on court, and what’s missing from it.

1. Comfortable, non-marking tennis shoes for proper court traction and support. 2. Athletic clothing you can move freely in. 3. A water bottle to stay hydrated through the session. 4. A towel for wiping down between points and drills. 5. Sunscreen and a hat if you’re playing outdoors. 6. Your own racquet, if you have one, though demo racquets are available if you don’t. 7. A positive attitude and readiness to work. That’s really all you need. I’ll bring the expertise, the tools, and the game plan.

Absolutely. I love introducing young players to the game the right way — building real fundamentals early, keeping lessons fun and confidence-building, and instilling habits that make tennis a lifelong sport rather than a phase.
