“I’d say the lesson was quite helpful in refining my basic moves, though I still need to work on my footwork and reaction time. Angel’s focus on technique was great, and I appreciated the detailed feedback. I’m hoping future lessons will build on that foundation, but there’s clearly room to improve. Still, it’s definitely worth trying out if you’re into boxing and want honest instruction.”Anthony R., student

About AliTennis has been part of my life for 11 years, and coaching is the part I've enjoyed most. My job is to make progress feel obvious. Lessons stay structured and focused, and you'll walk off the court knowing exactly what improved and what we're working on next.
Every lesson is built around the person in front of me. Some players want technique broken down piece by piece. Others want to be pushed and play points right away. I'll ask what you're after, and we'll build from there.
Not sure if we'd be a good fit? Send me a message. I'm always glad to talk it through before you book.
See you on the court!Go to profile98OutstandingTop rated
