Play Tennis at Allentown Splash, Tennis and Fitness Park

I'm eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to work with all of you. Tennis has been a lifelong passion for me, and I've played the game with competitive zeal. Currently, I'm engaged in USTA/UTR matches and am based in Prince George's County, Maryland. My coaching philosophy is grounded in a laid-back approach, emphasizing empowerment and personal growth. I relish the chance to meet new people and share the joys of tennis, creating a positive and enriching experience on the court. I can't wait to help you elevate your tennis game while forging new connections in the world of tennis.

"The lesson was quite helpful, though I think it could benefit from more focused drills to improve my serve. Still, I appreciate Marcellus's approach and look forward to trying another lesson soon.

I established my tennis career in 1996 competing through high school and two years on the collegiate level for the University of the District of Columbia. During that time period I traveled to the United States Tennis Association National event as well as the American Tennis Association National event. In 1997 I was a finalist in many local tournaments and statewide. I carried my championship spirit through 1998 quickly climbing the state of Maryland local ranking system. In 1999 my doubles partner and I finished in 2nd place at the ATA National event. Talking about excited!
