"Margarita is a amazing coach. Helped me to understand basic footwork & racquet swing mechanics

With 15 years on the court, I channel my experience into fostering skill and igniting passion for tennis in every student. As a former 10.5 UTR and top 20 NorCal USTA player, my understanding of high level competitive tennis translates to not only on-the-court proficiency, but also off the court needs such as mental health of athletes, sports psychology, and tactics. I refine technique and strategy with patience and interesting drill work and practice matches, honed from my extensive playing experience. I create a supportive, yet challenging environment to unlock your potential. I look forward to working with you and standing by your side on your tennis journey! I am very flexible with locations in the Orange County area. Also open to having an interview for student peace of mind. Look forward to working with you and hope to be the best coach suited for your needs!
