Hi, I'm your coach Sierra! My racket and I have been inseparable since I was 7, playing all the way through college. At 16, I ventured into teaching and discovered a love for imparting my tennis wisdom. Whether you're just starting or sharpening your strokes, join me as we celebrate and elevate this incredible sport.
"I’d say Sierra’s lesson was quite effective, particularly in how she explained some of the positioning and footwork, which has already helped me move more smoothly on the court. Though I still need to refine my serve, I appreciate her calm and patient approach, which makes tackling tricky parts less daunting. Still, I’m optimistic about making steady progress with another lesson soon. Would be nice to keep building on this foundation.

"Mason is absolutely awesome. I would highly recommend him as a coach. He was at the court on time. He was very friendly and of course knowledgeable about the game. He was very patient with my husband and I as we were both beginners. We learned the basics and before he left we were able to play a couple of games with some of the locals. We enjoyed our coaching time immensely. We are from out of town so this one time experience really sets the stage for us to continue learning when we get home.
