About your tennis coach
Hi, my name is Aaron. Tennis has been a lifelong passion of mine. Growing up in Northern Virginia, I started playing when I was just four years old. By the time I was a teenager, I was ranked Top 5 in Virginia for my age group (15–18) and finished as a Top 20 junior in the Mid-Atlantic region, competing in national tournaments across the country. Along the way, I trained with some of the best coaches in the U.S., including a mentor who also worked with Frances Tiafoe during his junior development at College Park. In 2018, I moved to California to play collegiate tennis at California Lutheran University (CLU), where I competed for four years and served as team captain my senior year, reaching an 11 UTR. Off the court, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Business and Sports Management, and I recently completed my MBA. I’ve been coaching part- and full-time since 2021, working with players of all ages and skill levels. My goal as a coach is to make the game enjoyable, while helping players build strong fundamentals, improve strategy, and develop confidence on the court. Whether you’re a beginner picking up a racquet for the first time or an experienced player aiming to sharpen your edge, I’m excited to help you take your game to the next level!

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 14
Wow, that lesson with Aaron was sharp, and the focus on footwork clicked for me, especially the quick bursts between shots. The highlight, Good, felt earned as I gained tempo and confidence, and I’m already curious to build on this progress. A gentle nudge for future improvement would be keeping up the consistency in follow-through, but I’m optimistic about the next session. Looking forward to more, and yes, I’ll book again soon.

The lesson kicked off with warmth and focus, and Aaron’s kindness made practice feel effortless, not rushed. A gentle nudge to clarify rules next time, then I’m ready to push ahead.

Youth players
Working with kidsWhen teaching kids, I make lessons fun, active, and engaging by using games and creative drills that keep their attention and energy high. My focus is on building a strong foundation in the basics, grips, footwork, and strokes, while making sure learning feels like play. I use encouragement, patience, and positive reinforcement so kids feel confident and excited to step on the court. The goal is for every child to leave smiling, learning, and eager to come back.
Working with teenagersWhen coaching teenagers, I adapt my lessons to balance skill development with competition, fitness, and strategy. At this age, players want to be challenged, so I incorporate advanced drills, match play, and point construction while also teaching them how to think tactically on the court. I create a supportive and collaborative environment where teens push each other, learn teamwork, and build confidence. By combining physical training with mental toughness skills, I help prepare them for competitive play and continued growth in the sport.
What you need to bringTennis shoes, racket, hat, water 👍
What I can bringBasket of balls, cones. Can bring an extra racket if needed. For hitting lessons for higher level players I'll bring a can or two of balls.
