I discovered my passion for tennis at the age of 10 and it quickly became my life's joy. Representing the Ukrainian school team was a dream come true. Tennis is not just a sport to me; it permeates every part of my life. My daughter follows in my footsteps as a tennis player, while my husband coaches the sport we all adore. For the past five years, I've been teaching tennis to children as young as three at my husband's tennis school, relishing in the progress and joy of every novice player, both young and old.
"Alright, my recent lesson with Liubov was quite helpful, especially since she pointed out specific details about my stroke that I hadn’t really paid attention to before. Though I still need to work on landing the ball more consistently, I felt like I made some steady progress. Still, I’m optimistic she’ll help me improve further over time. It’s clear she knows her stuff and guides with a calm, measured approach. If you're looking to get more precise with your game, I’d say you should give Liubov a try.

"I think Hannah's lesson was quite helpful and felt well balanced overall, with clear guidance that didn't feel rushed. Though, I would have appreciated a little more emphasis on my serve, but I still believe there's room to improve, and Hannah's approachable style makes me optimistic about future sessions. If you're aiming for steady progress with a coach who keeps things straightforward, you might want to consider giving her a try.
Will began competing in state and regional tournaments at 14, earning MVP honors in high school and holding the #1 singles spot for three years. He went on to play both singles and doubles for Allegheny College, continuing to sharpen his competitive edge. Recently relocated from Seattle to San Diego, Will is excited to share his passion for tennis with players of all levels. Off the court, he works in marketing, professional photography, and music production as a DJ.
I’ve played tennis all my life, always having access to courts and developing a deep appreciation for the sport's unique rhythm and strategy. I believe that each player should develop their own style because we’re all different. My dad, a math, tennis, and boxing instructor, taught me that these disciplines share a lot in common. Mastering tennis is about perfecting your shots, serves, slices, and footwork, but it ultimately comes down to the mental game. On the court, you learn the "equations" of actions and behaviors needed to outplay your opponent, turning each match into an artful challenge of skill and technique. For me, tennis is about the joy of the game, not just winning or losing. It's a sport that starts with love and ends with respect—whether through a handshake, a hug, or a simple nod if you're too sweaty. Most importantly, tennis is always a good time, and it’s a lifelong sport that can help you live healthier and longer!
"Great coach! Had a fun and helpful lesson.
Hi! I'm Lily, and I'm originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve been passionate about tennis since middle school, and I was a highly competitive doubles player throughout high school. In 2023, I was honored with an All-Region award, recognizing my competitive drive and strategic court presence. Last summer, I coached at Agape Tennis and Pickleball Academy in Atlanta, where I worked with kids ages 5 to 14. That experience deepened my commitment to helping beginner players build a strong foundation in the sport. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your technique, I bring energy, patience, and a love for the game to every lesson. I enjoy coaching all ages and am dedicated to helping each player grow their confidence, skills, and passion for tennis.

San Diego's ideal tennis season runs October through April when temperatures hover in the 60s-70s, but year-round outdoor play is realistic - just schedule summer lessons early morning or evening to avoid midday heat.

Adapting Tennis Lesson Plans for Children When adapting tennis lesson plans for children, it's crucial to keep the lessons fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Here are some key strategies to consider: 1. Shorten Attention Spans: Keep lessons concise: Shorter, more frequent sessions are ideal for young children. Vary activities: Switch between drills, games, and free play to maintain interest. 2. Prioritize Fun and Games: Game-based learning: Incorporate games like "King of the Court" or "Red Light, Green Light" to make practice enjoyable. Positive reinforcement: Use praise and encouragement to build confidence. 3. Simplify Techniques: Break down strokes: Focus on the basic movements and gradually introduce more complex techniques. Use simplified cues: Keep instructions clear and concise, using simple language and visual cues. 4. Adapt Equipment: Smaller courts and lower nets: Reduce the court size and net height to make the game more manageable. Lower-compression balls: Use softer balls that are easier to control. 5. Focus on Fundamental Skills: Basic strokes: Prioritize the development of forehands, backhands, and serves. Footwork: Emphasize proper footwork patterns to improve agility and court coverage. 6. Incorporate Physical Literacy: Balance and coordination drills: Include activities like hopping, skipping, and jumping to enhance overall athleticism. Motor skill development: Focus on hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and reaction time. 7. Create a Positive Learning Environment: Patient and encouraging coaching: Be supportive and understanding of children's mistakes. Fun and inclusive atmosphere: Foster a sense of community and belonging among young players. Example Lesson Plan for Children: Warm-up: Light jogging High-fives around the court Simple stretches (arm circles, leg swings) Skill Development: Forehand mini-tennis: Use smaller rackets and softer balls on a smaller court. Backhand wall-ball: Practice hitting the ball against a wall with a consistent backswing. Serve practice: Toss the ball underhand and focus on hitting the ball over the net. Game: "Red Light, Green Light": Players freeze when the coach says "red light" and run when they hear "green light." The last player to reach the net is out. Cool-down: Static stretches (holding a hamstring stretch, touching toes) Relaxation techniques (deep breathing) By adapting lesson plans in these ways, tennis coaches can create a fun and effective learning experience for children of all ages and abilities.
