Coach Stephanie has been wonderful with my daughter. She just started taking lessons and already looks forward to every session. The instruction is patient, encouraging, and makes learning fun while building confidence and skills. What really stands out is Coach Stephanie's experience from playing at all levels of the game at a D1 college at UCLA and playing on the WTA Tour, along with the ability to effectively coach players of all skill levels--from beginners to advanced competitors. We're excited to see my daughter continue to grow and develop her skills with such a knowledgeable and supportive coach. Highly recommend!
