I recently got back into tennis after not playing for a long time and have been taking lessons with Valter. He is a great coach! I really appreciate his ability to observe every aspect of my game and make suggestions for improvement. I have already gotten so much better and am having a lot of fun!

BEST DECISION EVER!! I’m completely new to tennis and gifted myself lessons. I selected private lessons to get me going and have been attending since March. I was nervous to begin but that quickly faded with the warmth and encouragement of my trainer and Valter. Not once did I feel like I didn’t belong. I was motivated and encouraged and learned great tips specific to me with my personal training.

The best part is now that im growing as a new player, I can add adult clinic sessions and meet other players like me motivated to learn. There are plenty of levels to meet you where you are at whether it’s beginning to advanced. All part of Valters Tennis Academy.

I couldn’t have done it alone. I truly owe it to Valter and his team of skilled athletes. Do yourself a favor and if you’re curious about learning check out Valter! Or if you need more advanced skills his coaches are fantastic!

I’ve been attending Coach Valter’s clinics for about two months now and have nothing but positive things to say. I heard good things about him through a word of mouth recommendation I received from a friend I’d been playing with.Coach and his team provide a welcome, fun and competitive environment for adults of all ages, skill levels, and levels of athleticism. They utilize several courts to accommodate the size of each clinic which allows for all players to get in a good number of reps during drills and games. I’d describe him and his team as friendly, organized and fun! Highly Recommend!

Valter is incredibly easy-going and runs an awesome facility. He has great tennis programs available for both kids and adults. My daughter enjoys the after-school sessions and camps. I especially like the adult workout program which is amazing and keeps me on my toes. In addition, the prices are very reasonable.

I have attended Valter’s tennis clinic for over two years. Aside from looking forward to my weekly tennis session, my game has improved immensely and love Valter’s entire team of tennis pros that support him during the clinic. The atmosphere is so fun and friendly. It’s addicting in the best way.

Valter is a consummate instructor in teaching both adults and children individually or in groups. His charisma and professionalism enables him to motivate his students in having fun while learning. His testimate to success is how long he has had his business and in the tennis community.

Valter is a great coach. He is very technical and cares about his clients. His clinics on Saturdays are the best! I love the format and the variety of different levels of players.

I appreciate and am refreshed by this tennis academy. Valter has made the playing and learning of tennis feel humane, interesting and useful. We learn different skills and are encouraged to advance our knowledge in unique ways. Additionally, his team of young men who assist him are some of the most knowledgable, genuine, and fun people I've had as instructors - Muito obrigada!
