Best 53 coaches for lessons near Chamblee, GA
These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.

"The latest lesson was quite helpful in focusing on my serves, though I think I could still use some refinement. Eric's approach is measured and clear, and I appreciated the specific drills he suggested. Still, I hope future lessons can include more practical feedback on foot positioning. If you're considering it, definitely give Eric a try.

Early on basketball was something I loved when I found out that You have to dribble the ball and score It. Then I was introduced to Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant and my love for the game of basketball took off to another level when that’s all I wanted to do! I played middle school and high school for my school team as well as AAU during the summer time while attending school workouts. Entering my junior year I make the team but the doctor needs a physical so at that point I find out I have scoliosis and cannot play competitively how I’d liked to without pain in my back. So I dive into the analytics and processing the breakdown of the game for years until I moved to Atlanta. I’ve been coaching for the Atlanta Strikers for 3 years coaching from ages 11-17. We have traveled out of state to compete in tournaments. Won nationals in Tennessee for 7th grade, won nationals in Virginia Beach for 8th grade, and competed in circuit-level play for 9th grade and varsity. My love for teaching the game the right way runs deep because I idolized Hall of Fame players growing up and want the game to continue to impact lives the way It did mine.
