"James has a strong passion and dedication in teaching me in tennis and pickleball. Anytime I call him to play he will not hesitate to accommodate me and help me improve my backhand stroke and adding some pointers to also improve my serve which is my weakest stroke in tennis.

With over two decades of experience in the tennis industry, I offer a unique 360-degree perspective on the game. My background spans from serving as a Director for family tennis clubs to coaching varsity high school teams and running impactful non-profits. My expertise includes: • Junior Development: Certified USTA 10 & Under specialist with a track record of developing #1 ranked high school players. • Adult Competition: Captained and coached 4.0 men’s teams to the playoffs; experienced in singles, doubles, and mixed play. • Community Impact: 20+ years creating public park programs, camps, and tournaments for at-risk communities and seniors. • Rules of the Game: A USTA Official for over 10 years, ensuring my students understand the game as well as the pros. From kindergarteners to college athletes, I am passionate about helping every player find their rhythm on the court.

"“The Coaching skills are exceptional! My son went from finding Tennis practice to be a chore to now absolutely enjoying it. Now he requests to practice and looks forward to improving his tennis skills - and he is only 6.5 yrs old. This very well attests to the Coachs training ability. He has a natural flair for training kids and makes it a lot of fun for them. My son looks forward to lessons with him. I absolutely recommend Maverick Tennis for anyone interested in Tennis lessons for their kids!”
