Dennis is the best! I’ve been playing with him for 5 months and he has quickly helped me develop confidence and a real love of tennis. He is super knowledgeable and teaches skills clearly, without making lessons too serious. He’s made tennis fun and approachable for me, would definitely recommend.

Great instructor with amazing attention to detail. Went from no experience to rallying very quickly. Got improvements on form, grip, and positioning every session.

I took a tennis clinic after a few lessons and was by far better than anyone else in the beginner group and progressed very quickly.

Also really fun convo and helps with a relaxed mindset. Definitely come here if you want to learn fast the right way.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Dennis and his unique coaching! Dennis is highly knowledgeable, providing personalized coaching that significantly improved my game. Training is provided on his private top-notch court. The emphasis on technique, agility, and mental focus sets him apart from other tennis pros.. Dennis is friendly, efficient with scheduling, and delivers results. He is perfect choice for anyone serious about elevating their tennis and overall athletic performance.

John Dunn

Dennis is a phenomenal and gifted tennis coach. He has a unique ability to identify issues in a persons game and explain how to fix them in an understandable and executable way. He also makes lessons a lot of fun. My daughter has been taking from Dennis for about 6 months and her game has improved by leaps and bounds. I took one or two lessons myself and my is much better now. Highly recommended!!!

I have trained with Dennis for the past 5+ years and we started tennis lessons about 3 years ago. It has been an incredible experience! I had played as a kid but hadn’t picked up a racquet in 30 years. Dennis immediately diagnosed my bad habits, saw what I was good at, and tailored his lessons to my level. I am much more technically adept than I have ever been, and I love the game more than I ever have. Dennis’s consistent ability to see what I’m doing wrong and help me correct it has helped me progress undeniably. Most important, though, is that Dennis is a terrific person - an amazing coach, mentor, and cheerleader. He truly wants me to get out there, work hard, and have fun, and he makes it happen every time.

Coach Dennis is a GREAT COACH! He is very good at coaching and very specific when it comes to fixing certain mistakes or reinforcement. I came in as a complete beginner knowing pretty much nothing about tennis and he has definitely helped me feel more confident in tennis. He makes things so clear and I definitely recommend him as a coach!

Transformed My Game

Two years ago, I picked up tennis for the first time since I was a kid. Little did I know, under the guidance of Coach Dennis, this would evolve from something new to try to a sport I see myself playing for a long time.

Dennis, an exceptional coach with a good attitude and funny personality. We meet for one hour 1-2 times a week at a private court. Every session is a unique blend of drills, rallying, conditioning, and playing actual sets. This variety not only keeps the lessons engaging but also comprehensively enhances different aspects of my game.

Within just a few months, I progressed from a beginner to confidently playing with friends who have school-level tennis experience. Now, 2-years later, I participate in amateur tournaments.

What's more, the skills I've developed in tennis have seamlessly translated to pickleball and have improved my golf swing (but I still suck).

Apart from his skill as a coach, Dennis's understanding and flexibility have been invaluable. My hectic schedule often demands rescheduling, and Dennis has always been accommodating.

In conclusion, if you're looking to dive back into tennis, refine your skills, or even start from scratch, Dennis is the coach you need.
