What really stood out during the lesson was Cate’s patience and excellent teaching style with my son. The session was well-paced and clear, making it easy for him to follow along. I’d recommend Cate’s lessons to anyone looking to improve their tennis skills in a supportive environment. Looking forward to more great sessions ahead! 🎾

About your tennis coach

I fell in love with tennis at age 10 or 11. It quickly became the thing I cared most about for the better part of my life. It is a sport for a lifetime, and it will always be my first love. I started teaching tennis in 2011 after earning my teaching certification with the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR). It’s always fun to introduce a new player to this game or to work with a player who is passionate about tennis and wants to learn more. I look forward to meeting new students and sharing my passion for tennis with them.
