With 30 years of experience as a player and coach, I bring a passion for tennis and a dedication to helping each student reach their full potential. I currently work with young, teens and adults as they maximize their potential on the court. Helping refine all strokes, gain confidence, while learning strategies to be more competitive. I can help you!
"The lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my forehand technique, and I think there's still room to improve my footwork to match the level of consistency I’m hoping to build. Great coach to help me on this journey.
Hello my name is Alex and I am a local Nashville tennis coach with over 7 years of playing experience! I am also a PTR Certified Tennis Professional. I began playing tennis in middle school with an athletic background. I quickly fell in love with the sport and began training 4 to 6 hours daily. I continued to compete collegiately while majoring in psychology. I have always enjoyed helping others and tennis is a blend of technical, tactical and mental. I use fact-based instruction and psychological strategies to improve my students playing ability and mental game. I have coached tennis for over 3 years including 8 months at Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas, Texas. During my time there, I coached numerous nationally ranked juniors along with early childhood students and adults of all ages and all different skill levels. I am offering fun private tennis lessons, semi-private tennis lessons, group tennis lessons and hitting only sessions for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot, approach shot, footwork, singles strategy or doubles strategy-I would be more than happy to help you out with your tennis game! I teach tennis lessons in the Nashville area and I’m willing to travel up to 10 miles to a tennis court that is conveniently located close to you.
"Coach Alex is fantastic! He gives clear, easy-to-follow instructions and is incredibly patience during each lesson. Thanks to his guidance, I feel my game has improved. I'm more confident on the court and excited to keep learning!
I am a dedicated high school teacher and tennis coach with a lifelong passion for tennis, boasting over two decades of experience playing the sport at the recreational league level.
"Fun and helpful!
As a former pro athlete with 18 years of coaching experience, I'm passionate about helping players of all levels elevate their game. My expertise lies in technique refinement, strategic thinking, and fostering a love for tennis. I will teach the skills for the students to succeed.
"I was really nervous starting out, but the lessons were so encouraging and patient. Complex concepts were broken down into simple steps that actually made sense. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my confidence!

Middle Tennessee weather supports outdoor tennis roughly 8 months a year, with cooler winters that push lessons indoors for 2-3 months around January and February. Most Nashville tennis coaches teach on outdoor hard courts at public parks, school venues, and university courts (Glencliff High School, Tennessee State Tennis Complex, Watkins Park, Belmont University Courts, Shelby Park Community Center), with indoor backup at Whitworth Racquet Club and other private clubs through the winter months. Several active coaches carry serious tennis backgrounds - a 30-year coach with 132 reviews, an active D1 professional player with 16 years of experience, a former pro athlete with 18 years of coaching, and a Nashville native coach with 7+ years of competitive play. That mix means a Nashville student can match a coach to a goal: USTA league prep, junior tournament track, college-prep development, or first-time adult fundamentals. Hard court is the default surface here; clay is rare and limited to a couple of private racquet clubs.
| Format | Participants | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $80-$200 / lesson | Fastest improvement, personalized feedback on every shot. |
| Pair or trio | 2-3 students | $60-$110 / person | Spouses, friends, or doubles partners who want a shared cost-split experience. |
| Group clinic | 3-6 students | $50-$80 / person | Lowest cost; live-ball repetitions and doubles drills. Best as a layer on top of private lessons or for casual social players. |
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build the foundation - grip, ready stance, forehand, backhand, serve toss. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | USTA 3.0-4.0 players work weekly or biweekly on targeted skills - second serve, return of serve, doubles positioning. |
| Advanced | Weekly to biweekly | 90 min | USTA 4.0+, UTR 7+, college-bound, or tournament-track players work match patterns, tactical decisions, and serve placement - often paired with hitting partner sessions. |
