Born in Cincinnati Ohio. Fell in love with the amazing game of tennis and quickly began improving and moved to Florida to train under Rick Macci. (the Williams sisters coach) at the age of 14 I started to work with Tarik Benhabiles who was Andy Roddicks coach from 15 to the age he won US Open at age 18. I reached a career high ranking of 196 in the world ITF juniors. I also was top 20 in the United States in 16s and 18s. Have taught all over the USA. I look forward to helping with your game!

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 played four years of high school tennis, and was a four-year member of the competitive travel team with the UD Club Tennis program. I also have three years of experience teaching tennis to children primarily ages 5-13 at the Cincinnati Tennis Foundation. I will be offering private lessons or group lessons for any interested junior or adult players at beginner or intermediate levels.
"Highly recommend Kate! My 15-year-old daughter just had her first-ever tennis lesson with her today. As a complete beginner, she was a bit nervous, but Kate made the environment so welcoming and comfortable. She came away having learned a lot and is excited to keep playing. Thank you, Kate!
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.
"A highlight was the plenty of reps and helpful feedback that kept the lesson engaging. My daughter is clearly making progress with Diego’s guidance. For anyone looking to improve their game in a supportive setting, his lessons are definitely worth trying. The hands-on approach really makes a difference. 🎾
I'm passionate about tennis, having played since my grade school days, fostering a deep love for the game.

I was pretty nervous coming in because I had never played tennis before but Armaan eased the environment so much and I actually learned more than I ever thought on my first session alone.
Hands down the best coach I could have asked for and I will be continuing to work with him on a weekly basis.
Elson G.
This is my first time taking up golf at the age of 49. My coach is very patient. He knows a lot of different techniques that can help someone as novice as me to someone that is a higher caliber player.
He is also very engaged and sends different video clips to help with your learning.
Himanshu S.
My coach is friendly, supportive, especially for beginners like myself.
Despite it being my first time playing pickleball, he made sure I felt comfortable and picked up the game quickly.
His enthusiasm and encouragement are contagious, making learning a joyous experience!
Jackie S.
Very easy to book right from start. Coach Jacob is very easy going and very knowledgeable. We were in same page from start of lesson with what I wanted to work on.
I'm going to work on today's lesson and I'll comeback to book more if i feel it's getting away from me again.

Connor was very patient and attentive with my wife and I. It was our first time golfing, and Connor gave us some really great advice.
Really looking forward to future lessons with him.
Jason Y.
I had never played Pickleball before and the first time I played with my coach, I learned everything about the game and how to play in a short amount of time.
The way he taught made it really easy to play and fun to learn. I really enjoy playing now!
Ryan M.
This app was a fantastic find. It paired my son with a local coach who was highly skilled and wonderful with kids.
He focused on fundamentals while building my son's confidence, and we saw real improvement both in his skills and his enthusiasm for the game.

My wife and I have never played tennis before so we were terrible at the beginning of the lesson.
Our coach gave very specific instructions and by the end of the lesson we had learned multiple swings and were hitting everything.
Darroll J.
Charlotte was amazing. This was my very first time golfing and she made me feel very comfortable and she had lots of knowledge.
I'd definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to learn.
Jocolbe P.
It provided a way to see a whole lot of coaches and reviews. Picked one and everything is done right there through the app: scheduling, communications, and payment.
It certainly couldn't be easier
