Play Tennis at Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park Tennis Courts

Hi! With over 25 years of tennis and coaching knowledge! I am a former Pro and college player. I specialize in helping young kids to older kids find confidence and form a love for the sport. I have worked with hundreds of teens to help get them into college programs and work on their match play. If needed, I can be an awesome hitting partner for all levels and ages or I can be a passionate coach with many approaches for different styles. I have been around and carry a passion for teaching and problem solving. I am in the know with the sport - from equipment to strategies to exercises. I share knowledge of other racquet sports as well; feel free to use my brain for anything related.

"My son doesn’t typically warm up easy but Jake made him feel comfortable early on and figured a bunch of games and drills to to get him loving tennis right now!
