"It

I love golf, because of what it has taught me about myself, and for the game, itself. Golf seems an impossible sport when beginning, but to succeed at goals on the course allows for success in life. I can help begin that journey. I have 30 years of teaching experience, and I am currently the golf instructor with Pegasus After School programs of New Jersey.

"Michael is a dynamite coach who understands the student

Hi, I'm Anthony! I have been playing tennis for over 20 years and coaching for nearly 8 years. I most recently worked as a pro at UPenn Racquet Club before moving back to NJ. Alongside being a USPTR certified tennis coach, I'm also deeply involved in the arts as an actor, filmmaker, and singer. Tennis coaching is my passion, but when I'm not on the court, you'll likely find me immersed in the world of cinema. I'm particularly proud of my film "ETHEREAL," which has played at various film festivals. Balancing my love for both sports and the arts is what makes my life truly vibrant and fulfilling.

"Denys is the best!! He's so encouraging and patient and does a great job of instilling good form and good habits in you early on if you're a beginner like me. It's very clear that he has a lot of enthusiasm and love for tennis that he wants to share with his students, which makes every lesson a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend working with Denys!
