"I can't speak enough of Coach Wayne's patience. I enrolled my two boys for lessons and my kids were all over the place but Ciach Wayne never got upset or annoyed.

I embarked on my tennis journey when I became my wife's hitting partner, gradually immersing myself in the game and honing my skills. As my love for tennis grew, I ventured into competitive play, discovering a true passion for the sport. Inspired by my progress, I began sharing my knowledge with friends, helping them improve their game. This led me to catch the attention of two esteemed teachers: one from the renowned Strawberry Group in Tiburon and another from the YTA Youth Tennis in Oakland. Since then, I have cherished every moment of my involvement in tennis, teaching others and continuously expanding my own expertise, all fueled by an unwavering love for the game.

"I’d say the lesson with Emmanuel really hit the right note for me. The way he teaches makes complex movements quite clear, and that’s quite helpful. Though I still have some things to improve, I feel more confident in my groundstrokes now. If you're considering trying out a lesson, Emmanuel’s approach might be worth a shot.

"I was lucky enough to find coach Shannon for my little ones. In a desperate attempt to distract kiddos from devices, I wanted to try tennis with the little ones, who each has their personalities. Coach Shannon is a wonderful coach. She has been always so encouraging to the girls and trying different ways to make the lessons fun. When the girls were having their moments, she accommodated based on situations. She has been very patient and an excellent coach. I also had my private session with her and enjoyed it very much. We really love coach Shannon and would love to keep coming back.
