The lesson was good. But the location is hard to park and find a restroom for kids when they need it.😅

I found Connor last summer in Athens and he’s been really good to me and my son! We only had 2 months with him but he turned Victor’s backhand into a weapon on the court! Great technical skills and very positive.

Connor is my current coach who I’ve been training with for a month now and he’s great so far! I’ve been playing for 2 years but have started to take it more seriously recently. Connor really helps me nail down my fundamentals and has a lot of knowledge and patience to provide. Overall, he’s awesome!

How it works

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonWe’ll assess your current skill level, then revisit and perfect your foundational skills as needed. We will ensure your strokes, serves, and footwork are precise and consistent. We’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your current play to tailor the lessons to your specific needs.

Lesson 11+If you can beat me, then I did a great job!

Lesson 4-10Now we’ll delve into advanced strategies for both singles and doubles, focusing on positioning, shot placement, and opponent analysis. We’ll engage in drills and practice matches to simulate competitive conditions and improve your game.

Lesson 2-3Next we’ll practice advanced shots such as top-spin serves, drop shots, and aggressive volleys. We’ll also work on shot selection and situational play to enhance your tactical decision-making on the court

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen teaching kids, I adapt my lessons to be fun and engaging, using games and activities that make learning enjoyable. I focus on building a strong foundation in the basics while incorporating age-appropriate drills and exercises that keep their interest and energy levels high. Patience and encouragement are key, as I strive to create a positive and supportive environment where young players feel confident and excited to learn.

Working with teenagersWhen teaching teenagers, I adapt my lessons to balance skill development with the social and competitive aspects that appeal to this age group. I incorporate advanced drills and techniques while fostering a supportive and collaborative environment that encourages teamwork and peer learning. By focusing on both physical fitness and strategic thinking, I help teens develop their skills and confidence, preparing them for competitive play and personal growth in the sport.
