"I loved that I could adjust from tennis to pickleball during the lesson with Rich. I learned as much as I hoped and look forward to improving from where I am now. If you want to get started or sharpen your pickleball skills, Rich’s lessons are definitely worth trying. The experience was enjoyable and encouraging.

Hi there! I’m Julian Lopez, a professional tennis coach who’s spent the past 35 years coaching and mentoring. My players have ranged from beginner, competitive junior, college, ITF and the tour. Over the last few decades, I’ve been honored to follow their journeys - even watching some become tennis pros and coaches themselves! I played for Oral Roberts University and when I had the opportunity to turn pro, I jumped at it. It was a decision I’ve never regretted. I’ve been privileged to make this amazing sport my career and I’m passionate about making tennis accessible to anyone who wants to learn. My approach - keep it simple and keep it fun. It’s all about building a strong foundation from the ground up. STAY TOUGH and I’ll see you on the court! 👊🎾"
"Pivoting back to fundamentals, Julian’s precise feedback sharpened my swing and sparked noticeable progress. He reintroduced basics clearly, and I left with a concrete plan to improve steadily, ready for more.
