"Very comprehensive training on the game. Gave me plenty of things to practice on. Laurance is a great coach and very patient.

With decades of experience in tennis and a newfound love for pickleball, I'm here to help you take your game to the next level. As a former tennis singles club champion in 1995 and a player rated between 4.0-4.5, I've honed my skills on the tennis court and know what it takes to succeed. Throughout college, I worked in various pro shops and country clubs, gaining valuable insights into the game and coaching techniques. In addition to my tennis background, I've immersed myself in the world of pickleball over the past year, earning a rating of 3.5. I've mastered various dinks, serves, and skills, and I'm eager to share my knowledge with you. But beyond skills and techniques, I believe in making the game fun for everyone. With excellent interpersonal skills and a passion for racquet sports, I'm committed to creating a positive and supportive environment where you can thrive. Whether you're looking to improve your tennis game or dive into the exciting world of pickleball, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's hit the courts and have some fun!
