Hi, I'm Coach Henry. Before diving into my background, I want to share my passion for coaching. I am dedicated to helping players refine their game and discover their own love for the sport. As a 4.5 rated Pickleball player with more than a year under my belt, I've built upon my history as a former 5.0 tennis player. I decided to switch to PB for a change of pace and soon made my mark by winning multiple tournaments at the 3.5 level. Our lessons will thoroughly cover both the forehand and backhand techniques, always emphasizing the critical importance of a correct follow-through. Join me, and together we'll ensure you have the skills and confidence to compete with anyone on the court!
"I’d say Henry’s lesson was quite focused and helpful, especially with opportunities for improvement in mind. The emphasis on form and problem areas was pretty clear, and I feel more confident about sharpening those skills. Though I still need to work on a few specifics, it’s encouraging to see steady progress. Still, I might try a couple more lessons to really hone in on those details.

Over 40 years of playing experience and over 20 years teaching experience! I have played tennis since I was 6 years old and I first learned how to play tennis from my parents at an early age. I then began taking lessons from tennis instructors who had many years of playing experience. They brought a wealth of knowledge to me as a junior, which in turn helped me learn and excel as a junior player. I was one of the top 10 junior players in Texas and also competed in all national tennis tournaments around the country. It was an incredible experience and I very much hope to be able to pass on some of what I’ve learned to some of my tennis students in the San Antonio area!
"Greg’s skill in pinpointing my weaknesses really made a difference, and I appreciated how he focused on improving my game without overdoing it. If you’re looking for a lesson that’s quite helpful and tailored, Greg is worth trying.

Hi there! I’m Julian Lopez, a professional tennis coach who’s spent the past 35 years coaching and mentoring. My players have ranged from beginner, competitive junior, college, ITF and the tour. Over the last few decades, I’ve been honored to follow their journeys - even watching some become tennis pros and coaches themselves! I played for Oral Roberts University and when I had the opportunity to turn pro, I jumped at it. It was a decision I’ve never regretted. I’ve been privileged to make this amazing sport my career and I’m passionate about making tennis accessible to anyone who wants to learn. My approach - keep it simple and keep it fun. It’s all about building a strong foundation from the ground up. STAY TOUGH and I’ll see you on the court! 👊🎾"

"Kamal's lesson really helped me understand some key techniques, especially focusing on proper ball control. It’s pretty clear he knows his stuff and puts effort into making sure each player gets useful feedback, though I’d say I still need more practice on consistency. Still, I feel like I made decent progress and I’d be curious to see how my skills develop after another lesson. If you’re into improving your soccer skills, trying Kamal’s lesson could be worthwhile.

Grew up playing tennis and racquetball, so making the transition was easy. I have been playing for 5 years and won a championship on a recent cruise. I love the Pickleball game and enjoy playing and teaching others how to play!
"Bill is quite good at making the learning process feel approachable, and his patience really stood out during the lesson, especially since he explains things in a relatable way. Though I think more serve practice and additional info could make the lessons even better, I still left feeling more confident on the court. Still, if you're looking to improve your game with someone who's easy to work with, Bill's worth trying out.
