100's of Tennis Players Through 20 Years
We help players of all levels at Delaware Tennis Academy. We have many state champions but even more kids who have reached their goal of being a locally ranked tennis player, or a high school varsity athlete which is amazing and gives kids confidence! Many younger kids have also learned tennis and went on to new sports but got comfortable playing a sport first under my fun, but also productive instruction.
Adults, are you ready for some exercise and learn how to play tennis? Maybe you already play but want to work on your game? I can be very technical but also we 'make it work' and get you going confidently using your natural instincts and abilities. Sometimes it doesn't have to be picture perfect, but it works for you. We will figure it out together. What do the top players do? How can you use that or maybe modify it a bit for what will actually work best for you. Tennis is a fun game to learn and you get a good workout if you want to! This will be fun and we will work together on goals.
