Bio: Growing up in Canada, I competed in tennis throughout my childhood and won the Canadian nationals at age 13! I consistently ranked within the top three in Canada throughout my junior years, which led to a full scholarship to play Division 1 NCAA tennis at the University of Virginia. I competed all four years alongside my identical twin sister – what an experience! After graduating, I realized my passion for tennis and fitness, and now I have over 15 years of experience coaching. I love connecting with, motivating, and helping both juniors and adults achieve their tennis goals. I'm also passing on my love for the game to my two daughters, ages 10 and 13, who are both nationally ranked! They've progressed through red, orange, and green ball and are currently competing in junior USTA tournaments here in Texas. We live in East Dallas, and I can't wait to help you with your tennis game!

Bio: I’m Julia, a 26-year-old tennis coach based in Dallas Proper. I’ve been passionate about the game since I started playing club tennis at age six and continued competing through high school and college, where I played Division 2 tennis. My coaching approach emphasizes breaking down a player’s game to enhance fundamentals, strategy, and consistency, while also exploring the reasons behind our techniques. With experience coaching at country clubs and having learned from a variety of coaches myself, I’m excited to build relationships and share my insights with players of all ages.

Bio: Howdy Howdy! Currently privileged to be coaching over 10 students weekly in late September 2025. I'm a former Tournament Competition player who played at the Championship Tournament Level with 20 years of coaching, I enjoy helping players of all levels reach their full potential on the court. I foster a fun, yet disciplined environment where skills are honed and a love for the game is ignited. I purposely keep my hourly rate as low as possible, not for lack of experience but rather to allow young ones and all families to be able to afford an introduction to this wonderful game. I am a busy professional but like many other busy coaches, I volunteer for Programs at various schools and clubs to help underprivileged kids and I proudly volunteer my time for the Aceing Autism program here in DFW.

Note : Please have the court booked (if not an open court) as most city center courts require you to be residence of that city.

Bio: I’ve been involved with the game of tennis for 21 years now. I was as a top national junior player in singles and doubles. After a professional playing career was cut short by injury, I turned my attention to helping others improve and find a love for the game!

Bio: As a tennis player, fan, student, and coach, I truly believe in the transformative power of the sport—not just for physical fitness, but for mental well-being, too. My passion for tennis goes far beyond just playing; it's about supplying individuals with a practical tool with which they can find a personal measure of success and self-improvement on a daily basis. I understand that tennis has the ability to build strength, agility, and confidence, but it also has the unique ability to sharpen focus, teach resilience, and reframe our worldview. I want to share that with as many people as possible, especially those who may not have access to expensive lessons or the resources of elite country or racket clubs. Tennis shouldn’t feel like an exclusive experience— whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine basic skills, I’m here to guide you and walk with you through every step with personalized, affordable coaching. My goal is to help grow your interest and passion for tennis, develop your tennis skills, offer insight as to how tennis can forge mental toughness and foster a positive attitude that extends beyond the court. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m excited to be part of your growth, both as a player and as an individual. Why I’m the Right Coach for Adult Beginners: Unlike many tennis pros who started swinging a racquet as toddlers and spent their youth chasing trophies, I discovered tennis as an adult—and that gives me a unique edge when it comes to teaching other adults who just want to learn the game, have fun, and improve without the pressure of competition. I know exactly what it feels like to: * Start from scratch and wonder if you’re doing it “right” * Feel intimidated by traditional tennis clubs or highly competitive players * Juggle tennis with a full-time job, family, or other adult responsibilities * Just want to rally, break a sweat, and feel good about your progress Because I learned as an adult, I see the game through your eyes, not through the lens of someone who grew up playing five hours a day with private coaches. I break things down in simple, encouraging ways. I focus on real improvement, building confidence, and making tennis feel accessible and enjoyable—not overwhelming. Many lifelong tennis pros are fantastic players, but they don’t always remember what it’s like to be a total beginner. I do. And that makes me a patient, relatable, and highly effective coach for adults who want to learn and love the game on their own terms.

Bio: I've had quite the journey in the world of tennis. As a former Top 100 junior player from Southern California, tennis has been more than a sport for me—it's been a way of life.

Now, with a 5.0 rating and teaching stints at prestigious establishments like Beverly Hills Tennis in Los Angeles and Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas, Texas, I'm ready to bring my expertise to your court. Whether you're a beginner looking to grasp the basics or a seasoned player aiming to refine your skills, I'm here to elevate your game. Let's smash those aces, perfect those volleys, and win every match. Join me on the court, and let's make your tennis dreams a reality!

Bio: I've spent over a decade honing my tennis skills and sharing my passion for the sport with others. As a dedicated coach, I'm excited to help you reach your full potential on the court, whether you're a beginner eager to learn the basics or a seasoned player looking to refine your technique.
