"Loumienne was a great coach! I’ve never played tennis before but she explains things so well & made the lesson fun. I appreciate her asking me what level of intensity I’d want for the lesson. She made it a fun challenge and that’s something that I wanted to add onto my fitness routine. Highly recommend!

"Chad is a great great coach because he interacts with the kids, he doesn’t yell at them but instead helps them by individually working with them, and when something happens he doesn’t yell hit acts in a stern and direct way say everyone will listens to him and still have an enjoyable time either if it’s with the game or practices.
