I’m an SCTA, USTA, and ITF junior player with over 30 years of experience in the sport. I’ve had the honor of becoming a national champion, which has fueled my passion for tennis even more. Throughout my journey, I’ve gained valuable insights that I love sharing with others, whether through coaching or mentoring young players. Tennis has shaped my life, and I’m excited to continue contributing to the sport I adore.
"My 12 year old daughter is a competitive tennis player and has been coaching with Arron for almost a year. In that time, her game has improved tremendously. Arron is at home on the court and his passion for the game is infectious and inspirational. He incorporates technique, strategy and conditioning in his lessons, and he makes it fun. I can’t recommend him enough.

"John has helped me developing into a strong player for my high school team and I won my first 14 & under tournament working with him this summer.
With two decades of competitive tennis under my belt, I've spent the last 10 years imparting the essentials of the game to enthusiasts in our local community. My teaching methods have been greatly influenced by my 30-year tenure as a martial arts instructor, bringing a unique perspective to my tennis coaching. This combined experience has honed my ability to convey techniques effectively, ensuring that students not only learn the basics but also appreciate the discipline and dedication behind every stroke.
"Ed's lesson was quite good overall, especially since his advice was really helpful and to the point, which I appreciated. His helpfulness stood out, though I’d like to see some focus on improving forehand control next time. Still, I’ll probably try Ed again because his straightforward guidance feels quite practical.
Greetings! I'm Roham, USPTA certified tennis coach and pro hitting partner with 20 years teaching experience. Friendly, highly skilled & patient. My classes are productive and enjoyable. As a professional, I'm ready to help you elevate your game and maximize your enjoyment on the court. Let's start this tennis journey together!
"Today I practiced my backhand and correct technique. Roham made not playing after 20 years feel like a breeze. He was so supportive and patient
Tennis has been part of my life for 11 years, and coaching is the part I've enjoyed most. My job is to make progress feel obvious. Lessons stay structured and focused, and you'll walk off the court knowing exactly what improved and what we're working on next. Every lesson is built around the person in front of me. Some players want technique broken down piece by piece. Others want to be pushed and play points right away. I'll ask what you're after, and we'll build from there. Not sure if we'd be a good fit? Send me a message. I'm always glad to talk it through before you book. See you on the court!
"Ali has been amazing with our 13-year-old, who’s just getting back into tennis after a long break. Ali is patient and encouraging, but also keeps high expectations—helping our son stay focused and confident. He adjusts his lessons thoughtfully when it’s hot or when our son gets frustrated, always turning setbacks into learning moments. He’s knowledgeable, observant, and makes every session productive and positive. Highly recommend!

Hi! I'm Nicole, a former junior tournament player. I have over 5 years coaching all ages and levels, from beginners who are just learning the basic strokes to tournament players working on strategy, conditioning, and mental toughness. Should you wish to train with me, I will make a personalized lesson plan to help you achieve your specific goals according to your level, experience, and desired time commitment. As a coach, I believe it is important to develop all parts of a tennis player. Sportsmanship, mental toughness, and strategy are as integral to a strong player just as much as the strokes and physical elements of the sport.

First Aid, CPR, and SafePlay certified.
"Nicole is one of the best tennis instructors I’ve seen. I grew up playing but my daughters wanted lessons from… not their dad, so I found Nicole and couldn’t be happier! Within their first semi-private they were already getting the ball over the net. So the results were there, but the girls also felt super comfortable with Nicole and are big into tennis now. Mission accomplished! Thanks Nicole!

"Sabrina's lesson was quite impressive, honestly. She was very patient and seemed genuinely knowledgeable, which made me feel pretty confident about trying again. Though I’d like to see my daughter get more comfortable on the court, I think her approach could really help in that regard. Still, it’s encouraging enough to consider booking another lesson soon.

"Highly recommend this coach for technical guidance and thoughtful feedback. I improved quickly in just one session.

He also brought in insight from his gymnastics and movement background, which was helpful because tennis a more fluid, almost dance-like feel. He understands the mechanics and genuinely cares about teaching.

LA's climate supports outdoor tennis roughly 320 days a year, which removes the weather-driven cancellations that limit colder cities and lets students lock into a consistent weekly cadence. Most LA tennis coaches teach on hard courts at public parks and school courts (Echo Park Tennis Courts, South Pasadena High School, Alhambra Park, Yosemite Rec Center), with indoor and clay options available at private clubs for players who want them. Several active coaches carry serious tennis backgrounds - a 13-year career coach who has worked with 500+ students, a USTA active competitor, a 33-year 4.0-rated player, and a long-time tennis pro with two decades on court. That mix means an LA student can match a coach to a goal: USTA league prep, junior development, varsity team prep, or first-time adult fundamentals. The dry climate and steady sun also mean clay-court conversions are rare here; hard court is the default surface most players will spend their time on.

| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $80-$200 / lesson | Fastest improvement, individualized stroke and footwork feedback every shot. |

| 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 | Tournament or USTA-league players - match-pattern drilling, serve-and-return work, live point play, and tactical review. |
