Learn Tennis with James

💰$94 weekly lessons

I discovered tennis early in life starting playing around age 10 and over the next 30 years it naturally became an innate passion. As a youth and young adult I spent my summers at Newcombe as a camp counselor-pro. Then after HS I joined the UTSA mens singles team. I choose a career and have spent the last 17 years in Real Estate / Sales Management. I have been playing club tennis on and off and due to my caring nature this also means I've been coaching as well. WEITHER ITS Dropping SOME WEIGHT, PREPARING FOR A TOURNAMENT OR JUST AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SPORT I GUARANTEE YOU WILL EXCEED YOUR GOALS. I love people, helping and the satisfaction that comes with watching someone improve their game so more often then not I was asked to join the pro staff to help players of all ages. I will work with anyone 10-65 years of age pending a letter from a doctor clearing individuals over 55. THANK YOU AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY,

To be honest I never really got very good at tennis but I dropped 65 pounds in 6 months and have kept it off. Ryan knows alot about diet, muscles and how the burn loads of fat. He made it fun and it never felt like a workout. He's so patient. Thank you Ryan

I had trouble with spin shots and Ryan has wicked spin and his balls are hard to get rhythm. Not only did I learn the pace but also added a great slice to my game. Ryan won't be upset when I mention it but at the end of Mr lessons I was finaly bearing him consistently and went on to win 13 open tournaments that year in 2015.

I met Mr. Turner as he was helping another player but I enjoyed his enthusiasm so I waited. I'm 59 and recently signed up to play club but only one singles spot was open in an upcoming tournament. Until meeting him I had every intention of quitting and even trying this tournament. Not only did Ryan help me get stronger, more flexible and quicker through training drills designed for my age but he took tonight how to shorten the court. He also helped me fool the younger players into underestimating me giving me the ability to win 3rd in my first tournament at 59!!!! Hes not just my couch but my friend too

My son ledger had no confidence in his ability to play any sports and after many conversations I agreed to let Ryan Turner help. I can't express how much he's done for my son building his confidence, watching him get determined as well as his coordination has done a 360! Ryan understands how to speak to his students which has a greatest impact on the attitude they learn. Ledger now playa Hs tennis and is varsity single player 1.

I just started with him but already have 4 girl friends that all want lessons from him. I don't think you can be as in shape as he is without practicing what he preaches. He is always smiling and such a joy. I would pay him to teach me how to kick a wall lol
