About Danny

Hey fellow tennis enthusiasts! I started my journey with a wooden racquet from a garage sale, facing giggles and doubts at age 8. But I learned that tennis is for everyone - no matter your age, skill, or gear. Years have flown by, and now I'm the proud founder of Astoria Tennis, NYC's largest public tennis community. I believe in creating an inclusive space where we all can learn, play, and revel in the joy of tennis. Let's embrace the game together, and remember, it's never about the racquet, but the heart that wields it!

What students say...

"Danny is a great coach. Highly recommended!

The lesson had a good rhythm, and I appreciated how we focused on learning through practice rather than endless talking. Danny's instructions helped me identify where I can improve, especially with my form and using my hips better. overall, it's a solid way to work on tennis fundamentals without feeling rushed, definitely worth trying again.

I had an amazing time with Danny! I am a beginner and he helped me understand the foundation of Tennis. He did it in a way that made it easy for me to remember. He also taught me some drills that I can practice on my own. I am looking forward to more lessons with him!
