"Chris is the best coach I’ve had, and I’ve had many over the years. He has a crazy ability to catch the smallest tweak that I don’t even realize I’m doing and then he shows me what needs to happen instead and it completely changes my game. He has transformed my serve! His serve is a rocket. I also owe it to him that I joined a league team and that I became one of the top players on the team and that moved up two levels in just 3 years. Plus, he’s got a fun, chill, and very encouraging/supportive vibe. Highly recommend.
I'm passionate about sharing my love of tennis with players of all levels. As a former professional, ranked on the ATP tour and top ranked Division I collegiate player with 40 years on the court, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a dedication to helping you reach your full potential.

Coaching concentrates at public parks and school courts across Berkeley Park, Garland Park, O'Kane Park, City Park, and Cherry Creek, so it's practical to pick a tennis pro by court, neighborhood, or budget.
Denver's climate supports outdoor tennis roughly 9 months a year, with comfortable spring through fall lesson windows and a winter shoulder season where weather varies day to day. Most Denver tennis coaches teach on hard courts at public parks (Berkeley Park Tennis Center, Garland Park, O'Kane, City Park) and school courts (Cherry Creek High School, Hill Campus of Arts and Sciences). The active coach roster covers a wide range of teaching depth. George S. brings competitive tennis experience plus a fitness and teaching foundation. Samuel T. has 14+ years helping players across levels. Gc L. brings four decades of playing experience. That spread lets a Denver student match a coach to a specific goal: high-school team prep, junior development, USTA league play, or first-time adult fundamentals. Denver's altitude affects ball flight noticeably - faster, longer carry - so coaches here often teach altitude-specific adjustments to swing and toss height.

"Hi! I play high school tennis. Sam helped me refine my strokes so I was more consistent and prepared me for my high school matches. My game is much better thanks to him 👍"
"Great lesson!! My backhand already looks better. Look forward to the next session"
"That lesson with Ryan was quite good. I appreciated how he broke down tools to be effective both defensively and offensively, which definitely helped my understanding of the game. Though I still need to work on consistency, I left feeling quite encouraged and more confident ab..."
"Ryan's lesson really helped my son improve his shots, they're now stronger and more accurate, which is pretty satisfying to see. Though, still, working on his follow-through on the forehand might help him get even better. It's nice to work with someone who notices these detail..."
