Best 5 coaches for lessons near Augusta, GA

My name is Calvin Coach III from Aiken, SC! I have been playing since I was 3 up until the age of 23. I spent a total of 5 years playing in collegiately, four years at Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina and at the University of Saint Katherine in San Diego, CA. All of my coaches in San Diego were former MLB players. Which gave me a year to soak in information from them to bring back home. Before finishing my baseball career I got a taste of playing professionally with a professional league based in Mexico (LMB) and a Pecos league team in California. I specialize in all aspects!

Tennis has granted me the greatest privilege of my favorite memories, fondest relationships, and formidable experiences. I have played the game at every level. I spent ages 9-18 traveling the country playing junior tennis, where my goals were to play at the Division 1, Power 5 level. Collegiately I competed against some of the toughest opponents in the SEC and ACC conferences for Vanderbilt and Wake Forest respectively. Finally, I pushed onto touring the world on the WTA tour, where I reached a world career high no. 695 in 2025. Coaching tennis has been my way to give back to the game that I love and has been my greatest joys. It challenges me to see the sport in a naunced perspective and has allowed me to form great relationships with those that love the game just as much as I do. I take a player-led approach to instruction. Together, we can discuss your goals within the sport, and develop training plans custom to you. I have experience coaching all ages and levels. Whether you are just picking up a racket for the first time, or you are an advanced athlete looking to find the next level we will tailor our practice time to your needs through hand ball feeding, live ball hitting, or practice match training.

Baseball has always been more than just a game to me — it’s a craft. I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in teaching not only the fundamentals of the game but also the mental side that makes players successful. I believe baseball is as much about preparation, focus, and mindset as it is about mechanics and skill. My goal is to help players grow in all aspects, building confidence, discipline, and a deeper love for the game.
