Play Tennis at La Jolla Private Court

I offer a rare opportunity to beginners or existing players to learn tennis instantly or reach their full potential. With over 18 years of coaching and 28 years of playing experience I've developed thousands of players. I've coached players like Nikoloz Basilashvili during 2021 Indian Wells Finals who cracked ATP top 20 ranking. Currently i still work with over 300 players annually.

"The real deal! Helped me a ton with putting power on my backhand and hit the ball 10x more consistent. Really learned a lot. Had lots of fun too. If you're on the fence - just give it a try. Good for beginners and advanced.

I like to share my passion for tennis with students of all levels. My experience as an experienced player helps me tailor instruction for optimal growth and enjoyment on the court. I have over 15 years of playing experience and 3 years of coaching, working with both junior and adult players of different skill levels. My approach focuses on building strong fundamentals, proper technique, footwork, and match awareness in a structured and supportive environment. For kids, sessions emphasize coordination, discipline, and confidence while keeping training engaging and age appropriate. For adults, lessons are tailored to individual goals, whether learning the basics, improving consistency, or developing competitive skills. I offer both private and group lessons and adapt each session to the player’s level, pace, and objectives, with the goal of helping every student improve while enjoying the game. Let's elevate your game!

"We enrolled our daughter in Mariano’s lessons and saw progress within weeks. He is very reliable, attentive with kids, and creates a positive training environment. If you want someone who truly knows how to teach tennis to young players, he is a great choice.

"Dejana makes every lesson enjoyable and easy to follow. I’ve improved my technique and movement while having a lot of fun on court. She knows how to challenge me without making it feel overwhelming.
