"We had a wonderful time getting lessons for our daughter while in town for spring break. Jeffrey has a great personality and took the time to understand our daughter’s capabilities and push her limits. He is genuinely interested in his students success and at the end of the week took some time to give us ideas that we could take back home with us to work on. He’s a down to earth coach that we found easy to work with. I found him to be the best coach we’ve had since enrolling our daughter in tennis.

Coach Richard

Players 3.0 to 4.0. We will adapt you to warm-up drills similar to what you would see in all colleges. This will allow us to see how comfortable you are on court. And based on what I see in your on-court abilities will determine how fast we move you into tiebreaks and/or sets. We'll discuss what things you would like to improve on and work those into what I call micro drills.
