"My husband and I have been coaching with Coach Dwain for almost three years now and he’s been amazing. We both started as complete beginners, and he’s helped us understand the fundamentals, improve our stroke technique and really build our game over time. He’s very patient, encouraging and always brings great energy to every session. He genuinely wants us to do well and is always motivating us and pepping us up before matches. He also gives really helpful tips and strategies around actual gameplay, which has made a huge difference for us when we’re playing matches. We’ve improved so much over the years and have really started enjoying the game a lot more. Would definitely recommend Coach Dwain to anyone looking for a great tennis coach!

Tennis has been my passion since I picked up a racket at the age of 8. From high school tennis to competing for the #1 Division 2 college team in the nation, the court has been my second home.

My coaching philosophy revolves around fun, motivation, challenge, and positivity, ensuring that every lesson is not just a learning experience but an enjoyable journey toward improvement.
"I have been working with Judd for the last 2 years and he is hands-down the best coach I’ve ever worked with. He is innovative with his teaching approach which actually makes the new skills sticky. He also is very patient and encouraging, all while pushing me to give it my all on the court.
I’m Michelle, and I’m a Level 1 PTR certified tennis coach. Since I was 13, I was homeschooled to dedicate myself to tennis, competing in numerous junior tournaments and experiencing both victories and challenges along the way. I’ve been coaching since 2020 and have had the joy of teaching kids as young as 3 years old. I love coaching because it allows me to share the sport that has profoundly positively impacted my life and to make it fun and engaging for young players.
The court has been my compass for 33 years. As a former collegiate tennis player, I bring technical expertise, strategic insight, and a passion for the sport to every lesson. I coach all ages and skill levels with a patient, approachable style focused on technique, footwork, consistency, confidence, and enjoyment of the game.
Prior to working at a local country club, I worked various tennis jobs as an independent Pro in neighborhoods, a Staff Pro at Lost Mountain TC, and I also worked as the Head Tennis Pro at the PGA Tour Superstore. I enjoy teaching the game of tennis in a safe and fun filled environment!

Atlanta is one of the most tennis-saturated cities in the country, anchored by ALTA (Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association) and USTA Atlanta league play that runs spring, summer, and fall and pulls tens of thousands of adult players into competitive weekly matches. That league culture means most Atlanta tennis coaches teach with match patterns, doubles tactics, and league strategy in mind, not just stroke mechanics. Most Atlanta coaches teach on outdoor hard courts at public parks (McClatchey Park, Central Park, Lenox-Wildwood Park, W.D. Thomson Park, West End Park, Frankie Allen Park), with indoor and clay options available at private clubs like Bitsy Grant. Several active coaches carry serious tennis backgrounds - a 20-year teaching veteran with 152 reviews, a top-ranked junior player who competed nationally and internationally, a 30-year career coach, and a former professional soccer player turned tennis pro. The city's mild winters make year-round outdoor tennis realistic; hard court is the default surface most players will spend their time on.

|---|---|---|---|
| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $80-$200 / lesson | Fastest improvement, personalized feedback on every shot. |
| Pair or trio | 2-3 students | $60-$110 / person | Spouses, friends, or doubles partners who want a shared cost-split experience. |
| Group clinic | 3-6 students | $50-$80 / person | Lowest cost; live-ball repetitions and doubles drills. Best as a layer on top of private lessons or for ALTA-bound social players. |
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build the foundation - grip, ready stance, forehand, backhand, serve toss. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | USTA 3.0-4.0 / ALTA B-C-level players work weekly or biweekly on targeted skills - second serve, return of serve, doubles positioning. |
| Advanced | Weekly to biweekly | 90 min | USTA 4.0+ / ALTA A-level players work match patterns, tactical decisions, and serve placement - often paired with hitting partner sessions. |
