I've been immersed in the world of tennis since the tender age of 3, carrying my passion all the way to the college level. Trained by former D1 coaches, I've had the privilege of facing off against fellow college-level players. I'm here to share my wealth of knowledge with over 6 years of coaching experience, including serving as the assistant tennis coach at ALA High School and coaching at a tennis academy in the valley. Let's elevate your tennis journey together!
"The lesson was quite helpful for my overall tennis technique, though I think there’s still some room for improvement, especially with my backhand. Cidny's insights were practical and easy to follow, which I appreciated, but I’m hoping future lessons can build on the fundamentals further. Interestingly, the focus on footwork really made a difference for me. If you're considering trying a lesson, I’d say give Cidny a shot and see how it goes.

I love seeing beginners achieve their first victories. Let's hit the courts together and make your tennis journey a celebration of success and enjoyment!
"Level of coaching far exceeds any expectation I may have had regarding how long it would take me to learn Tennis. Coach Milton, has the ability to brake down body movements and allow the brain to train muscle memory. Coach uncomplicated the game and allowed me to play my game.

Phoenix's climate supports outdoor tennis nearly year-round, with the trade-off that summer heat pushes the prime lesson window to early mornings and late evenings from June through September. Most Phoenix tennis coaches teach on hard courts at public parks (Encanto Sports Complex, Granada Park, Nevitt Park, Pierce Park, Rose Lane Park) which keeps lesson costs accessible compared to club-only markets. The active coach roster is unusually deep for a city this size: a 4.0 USTA-rated doubles specialist, a college tennis team competitor, a 30-year career coach, a 15+ year tennis pro, and a coach who has played since age 3 through college. That spread lets a Phoenix student match a coach to a specific goal: USTA league prep, junior development, adult fundamentals, or doubles tactics. The dry desert climate means hard court is the default surface here; clay is rare, and almost all match play in the Valley happens on hard courts.
| Format | Participants | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $80-$140 / lesson | Fastest improvement, individualized stroke and footwork feedback every shot. |
| Pair or trio | 2-3 students | $50-$100 / person | Spouses, friends, or doubles partners who want shared cost and shared rally time. |
| Group clinic | 4-6 students | $50-$80 / person | Lowest cost per session; high-volume hitting and live-ball drills; less individual correction. |
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build the foundation - grip, ready stance, forehand, backhand, and a basic serve toss. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | Players who can rally consistently work on specific weaknesses - second serve, kick serve, backhand slice, doubles positioning. |
| Advanced | Weekly or every 2 weeks | 90 min | Tournament or USTA-league players - match-pattern drilling, serve-and-return work, live point play, and tactical review. |
