Hello! My name is Kate Noelcke, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Dayton. I am offering to teach tennis lessons in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas.

I will be offering private lessons or group lessons for any interested junior or adult players at beginner or intermediate levels.

I began playing tennis at age seven in Colombia, where I often competed with adults because tournaments were based on skill level rather than age. Those experiences taught me resilience, discipline, and a love for the game. Tennis has always been a family tradition, and my passion for coaching began by teaching family members, especially my son. I helped him develop his footwork, agility, and cardio tennis skills while encouraging him to join his high school varsity team. I love helping beginners and developing players build confidence, improve their technique, and enjoy the game. With a Master’s degree in Instructional Technology and an analytical approach to teaching, I create personalized lessons that help players improve faster while having fun on the court.
