Hello, my name is Bill and I am a Danville tennis coach with nearly five decades of competitive playing experience and more than 20 years of coaching experience across juniors, high school athletes, USTA competitors, adults, and recreational players. Unlike many coaches who focus only on feeding balls, I emphasize complete player development: - Modern stroke mechanics - Match strategy and point construction - Serve consistency and placement - Footwork and movement efficiency

I lost 80 pounds of fat by playing tennis and built real athleticism along the way.

First lesson includes a quick assessment, 1 to 2 key fixes, and a drill plan for your next solo hit.
