Learn Tennis with Tommy
Background checked
💰$63 weekly lessons
Hey! I’m 20 years old and just moved back to Lake Nona after spending the past 5 years training and competing in Spain. While there, I got the chance to hit and train with pros like Matteo Berrettini and Caroline Garcia, and I’ve competed at a high level (UTR up to 11). Tennis isn’t one-size-fits-all. I don’t teach with a set method—I focus on what works best for you. Whether you’re trying to build confidence, clean up technique, or just get more consistent, I’ll tailor everything to your level and goals. I’ve been around tennis my whole life. My dad played and coached at Mississippi State, and now coaches pros as a Lead National Coach at USTA Player Development. I grew up on court, surrounded by high-level tennis, and I bring that experience into every session. I’m available for hitting, match play, private coaching, or helping with strategy and tactics—whatever you need to improve your game. I work with all ages and levels, from beginners to serious competitors. Let’s get on court and level up.

Tommy knows the game on a deep level. He helped me break some bad habits and sharpen my strategy during matches. Every lesson was intense but productive. Highly recommend if you’re serious about getting better.

I had never picked up a racket before, but Tommy made everything simple and fun. He didn’t overwhelm me—just built up my confidence step by step. I’ve already improved so much and actually look forward to practice now!

As someone who was nervous to start, I really appreciated how relaxed and approachable Coach Tommy was. He focused on the basics and made sure I didn’t feel left behind. Perfect coach for beginners.

Tommy makes tennis feel easy to understand. I was struggling with consistency, and after a few drills and adjustments with him, everything clicked. He’s patient, clear, and always positive.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn our first lesson, I’ll get to know what your goals are—whether you’re here to play for fun, get a good workout, or eventually compete. Once I understand what you’re looking for, I’ll shape the session around that. We’ll go over the basics like grip, stance, and swing technique, but I’ll make sure it’s fun and relaxed so you leave feeling confident and excited to keep learning.
Lesson 11+At this point, we’ll start getting into more advanced stuff—point play, match scenarios, and shot variety like topspin, slice, or even drop shots. Whether you want to compete or just keep it casual, I’ll tailor things to your goals. I’ll help you understand court positioning, when to attack or defend, and how to build points with purpose. The focus is on taking everything we’ve built and turning it into real, confident gameplay.
Lesson 4-10During this stage, we’ll start rallying more and really focus on improving your consistency, accuracy, and control. We’ll keep building your groundstrokes, but I’ll also introduce volleys and net play depending on how comfortable you feel. My goal is to help you start feeling more confident during live rallies and begin working on simple strategies so you can actually play points and understand what’s happening during a match.
Lesson 2-3In these lessons, we’ll start building on the basics. I like to focus a lot on footwork because it’s one of the most important parts of tennis. That said, it always depends on your current skill level and what your personal goals are. I’m flexible and will adapt the lessons to match where you’re at—whether that means working on your forehand and backhand form, starting to serve, or focusing more on movement and positioning.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I’ll assess your current level through live hitting and movement drills. I want to see how you handle pace, your timing, consistency, and footwork under pressure. From there, we’ll talk about your goals—whether it’s playing tournaments, improving for school tennis, or just leveling up. The session will be a mix of rallying, point play, and quick feedback so we can build a clear game plan going forward.
Lesson 11+These sessions are about applying everything under match pressure. We’ll do high-level drilling, point play, and match simulation with constant feedback. We’ll also focus on the mental side—handling nerves, staying focused, and adapting mid-match. If you’re competing, I’ll help you prepare for specific match styles or tournament formats. If you’re not competing, we’ll keep pushing your game toward the highest level you want to reach.
Lesson 4-10Now we’ll get deeper into strategy, point construction, and pressure drills. We’ll focus on how to build points with purpose, control your tempo, and recognize shot selection opportunities. This is also where we’ll sharpen your serve, return, and transition game. I’ll keep challenging you with live ball, patterns, and match play situations that prepare you for real competition.
Lesson 2-3These sessions are all about tightening up your foundation. We’ll work on improving shot quality, footwork efficiency, and setting up patterns that fit your game style. I’ll give you specific drills to target your weaknesses and make sure your technique holds up in live rallies. Expect intensity, feedback, and a focus on building match-ready habits.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen I teach kids, I keep things fun, active, and simple. I use games and creative drills to help them build coordination and learn the basics without feeling overwhelmed. The goal is to keep them moving, smiling, and slowly building a love for tennis while picking up technique along the way. I also adjust the pace depending on their age and attention span.
Working with teenagersWith teens, I keep things a bit more structured while still making it fun. I focus more on technique, footwork, and understanding the game, but I always tie it back to their goals—whether it’s trying out for a school team or just getting better. I give them room to ask questions, try things, and challenge themselves so they feel confident and motivated to improve.
