"Coach Earnest is truly exceptional. From the very first session, he’s made tennis both engaging and genuinely fun for me. What sets him apart is his sharp focus on fundamentals—he doesn’t just let me hit balls for the sake of it. He carefully identifies bad habits, corrects my posture, and helps me build a solid tactical foundation. Every lesson feels purposeful and tailored to my improvement. Thanks to his guidance, I not only enjoy the game more, but I also see real progress in my technique and confidence on the court. I can honestly say I see myself becoming a much stronger, smarter player under his coaching.
Fueled by two decades on the court, I bring passion and precision to every lesson. My experience as a seasoned player informs my coaching, guiding students to elevate their game with tailored strategies. I offer expertise for all skill levels.
"He helped me with the basics of tennis like how to hit a forehand, backhand and started developing my serve. The improvement I have seen in just four classes has been amazing and I can’t wait for my next class. Overall great attitude!
Tennis has been my lifeblood since the age of 4. Growing up, I proudly represented Ukraine on the national junior team, consistently ranking among the top 3 players in my country. My passion and talent led me to compete at the Division 1 collegiate level, playing for a top 50 NCAA team. My college career was marked by both individual and team success, including victories in prize money tournaments and championship titles in the Big South and Sun Belt conferences. Now, I'm eager to share my wealth of experience and inspire others to reach their full potential on the court.
"Yevhen is an outstanding pro. He has a tremendous understanding of the technical aspects of tennis and how to translate that knowledge to players of all levels. He’s a pleasure personally as well. I recommend him without reservation.
I competed internationally, playing in Italy’s A2 league and hitting a career-high ITF singles ranking of 1711. I played NCAA tennis on a full scholarship in San Francisco, where I reached a top national ranking of #9 in singles and #6 in doubles.

Miami's climate supports year-round outdoor tennis, with a long playing season that runs about 11 months on hard court and lets students lock into a steady weekly cadence. The city's coaching roster is unusually deep on competitive backgrounds: an instructor with 30+ years and an ATP Top 10-linked development path, a current ITF and Futures-circuit competitor, a former professional player, and a USTA 5.0 / UTR 8 active league competitor. That density means a Miami student can match a tennis pro to a real goal - junior tournament prep, USTA league play, college recruiting work, or first-time adult fundamentals. Most coaching happens on hard courts at public tennis centers; clay (Har-Tru) courts exist at neighborhood centers like Flamingo Park for players who want the slower-surface footwork and slide. Summer brings heavy heat plus daily afternoon storms, so most year-round students shift to early-morning and late-evening lessons June through September.
| Format | Participants | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $80-$220 / lesson | Fastest improvement, individualized stroke and footwork feedback every shot. |
| Pair or trio | 2-3 students | $50-$110 / 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, transition game. |
| Advanced | Weekly or every 2 weeks | 90 min | USTA league, UTR, or tournament-track players - match-pattern drilling, serve-and-return work, live point play, video review. |
