Bio: Our tennis director started playing tennis when he was 4 years old in Russia, then the family immigrated to the US when he was just 9, he then quickly became a highly ranked junior. Playing junior tennis in Houston, the Texas section and then nationally he achieved rankings as high as #1 in Texas and top #10 in the nation. Then transitioned to playing professional tennis tournaments, after a number of years, some setbacks and a couple of injuries as his first child was born, thats when he started his coaching career. Never having imagined something would bring him as much joy as training, competing and then winning, coaching players to do the same and even better than himself in some cases did. He has now been teaching for 15+ years and has worked with players of all levels, ages and backgrounds. Having had over 50+ players go and play at the collegiate level and many adults experience success in their competitive careers as well. Tennis and fitness training is our passion, teaching people the game and helping them lead healthy lives is what drives our whole team!
