About your tennis coach
I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.

What makes Latoya’s lessons so enjoyable is the fun atmosphere paired with clear progress each time. A standout moment was experiencing steady improvement while keeping the sessions engaging. If you want to enjoy tennis while learning, her lessons are definitely worth trying. You’ll leave each session feeling better and eager for the next. Highly recommended! 🎾

The lesson with Latoya stood out because she really takes her time explaining things, which I found quite helpful, especially when she broke down some tennis concepts patiently. Though, I guess I was expecting a bit more focus on specific techniques, but her positive reinforcement definitely kept me motivated. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing how much I improve with her guidance.

This lesson was quite helpful, especially seeing my progression over time, which felt pretty noticeable. Latoya gives clear guidance without overloading, and I think that really makes a difference. If you’re into steady progress with someone easy to work with, I’d suggest giving her a try.

Latoya's lesson was incredibly helpful, especially the drill about going around the ball and positioning my body better. While I still hope to hit the ball consistently from that spot, it's a good start to improving my game. Still, I appreciated the clear focus on technique and how it gave me a better feel for body positioning during play. If you're looking to refine your control and stance, don’t think twice, give Latoya a try. She’s so patient, observant, helpful and will explain and demonstrate everything with encouragement and love.
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI begin the first lesson by creating a welcoming and relaxed environment, helping the player feel comfortable and confident from the start. I introduce the basic fundamentals—grip, stance, and swing—through simple, fun progressive activities that focus on coordination and consistency rather than perfection. Encouragement is constant, and I celebrate small successes to build motivation. My goal is to spark enjoyment in the game while laying a strong technical foundation.
Lesson 11+Client will be confidently rallying, serving, and playing real points—even if you’ve never picked up a racquet before. I’ll guide you step-by-step through proper technique, footwork, and strategy so you build a strong foundation fast. You’ll gain confidence, improve your fitness, and start enjoying the game from day one.
Lesson 4-10Between the 4th and 10th tennis lessons, a beginner can expect to improve consistency in their groundstrokes, learn basic footwork, and begin developing a reliable serve. I will introduce volleys, net play, and how to rally with more control and direction. Players also start learning how to keep score and play practice games to apply strategy and positioning. By the 10th lesson, many beginners can rally, serve, and play simplified matches with basic tactical awareness.
Lesson 2-3In the second or third lesson, a beginner can expect to build on the basics with more structured drills focused on consistency and control. We’ll introduce simple rallying skills, basic footwork, and perhaps the serve in a fun, pressure-free way. There’s more movement involved, but the focus remains on developing good habits, confidence, and enjoying the process. Encouragement and positive reinforcement continue to be a key part of each session.
