Tennis Lessons, Coaching, Match Preparation, Training and Conditioning
Professional fulltime tennis instructor with 36 years playing experience and 9 years of instructing, teaching, and coaching experience (over 7000 on-court instruction hours), offers comprehensive tennis lessons for beginners, intermediates, and advanced level tennis players. I work with individuals, groups and teams.
These lessons are based on stressing fundamentals and proper technique: solid ground strokes, strong net game and volleys, high percentage serving, improved foot work and conditioning/fitness drills -- a great way to lose weight, have fun and get fit at the same time!!
I work with competitive and recreational players of all ages to help them improve their games with tactical and strategic advice, drills, and hitting sessions.
Individuals, groups, adults, juniors, school and USTA Teams welcome! If you put together a group of four or more tennis players for a weekday or weekend clinic, I can custom tailor these clinics specifically for your group. Private lessons also make a great gift for someone’s birthday or holiday.
I currently offer weekly Adult Intermediate and Advanced Intermediate Tennis Clinics. Write to me and I'll gladly put your email address on the appropriate email list for the weekly clinic. The cost for the clinics is $10 per person for 1.5 hours.
These clinics cover proper groundstroke mechanics and form, proper volley technique, transition drills, interval drills, footwork drills, singles and doubles match play, concentration and focus drills, serves/serving motion practice, serve tactics & strategy, and academy games and drills. The goal is to achieve improved all-around 'tennis fitness', solid smooth fluid groundstrokes and a solid net (volleying) game.
I believe that everything begins with improved FITNESS and FOOTWORK, which leads to increased STAMINA and 'COURT QUICKNESS', which leads to a very noticeable improved 'all-court' tennis game.
I'm currently scheduling weekday and weekend lessons.
