TENNIS REVIEW:
Coach Eric is fantastic! The only review youll need.
I just started working with him, and within a few lessons, I was able to get the hang of it. Despite having no prior experience, he guided me through the ins and outs of tennis, including strategies and techniques. He really caters to my style and knows when to push me to improve. I’ve enjoyed the energy he brings to our sessions, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with him whenever I have the time.
So please dont hesitate to schedule a lesson. Reach out to him today and have yourself an amazing 👏 time on the court. Thank me later. 🎾

Eric was fun to learn from, watch, and play with. He made sure every lesson was an improvement on the last and gave so many nice nuggets to better my skills as a total beginner. He’s the best! Looking forward to becoming a pickle pro in no time 😎

I’m super impressed with how tailored Eric was to my needs. He had the ability to see my weaknesses and structuring lessons around them on the fly. I’ve seen such a big improvement in my game since I started these personalized lessons. Thanks coach!
