Tennis hitting sessions and/or technical lessons available in the East Bay:
Experienced 5.0+ level hitting partner for juniors and adults. Currently my UTR is 9+. In NorCal I was ranked number 2 at the 5.0 and 5.5 levels and top 20 NorCal in the men's open division.
I have over 18 years of experience hitting with a wide range level of players. I've been a hitting partner for several juniors who went on to play college tennis at some top schools (USF, Cal, UC Davis, Pomona, Santa Clara, Texas A&M, Brown, Harvard, Northridge, UCLA etc).
I also have experience hitting with adults ranging from beginner and intermediate to more advanced tournament and league level players. Excellent references upon request.
Available for drills, match play and/or warm up for tournaments. I have experience hitting with juniors starting out in red, orange and green ball levels, players trying out for the high school team and juniors competing in local and national tournaments. I’ve been a hitting partner for many players at Piedmont High and Berkeley High including a few number 1’s.
Adult players: are you on a USTA team (2.5-4.5 NTRP) and looking to improve your game?
Are you playing flex league and want to move up a level? I can help.
Advantages:
*Unlike most coaches who only feed from a basket I can also competitively hit with you and offer feedback.
*Willing to travel to a location near you.
*Great alternative for drop in clinics where competition may not always be up to your expectations. I guarantee a top quality workout, it all depends on how hard you want to practice.
*If you already have a primary technique coach, I can provide practice sessions for what you learn from your private lesson. I can offer a variety of shots: slice, topspin, flat so you can practice those shots either in drills or point play.
*I can also offer feedback and observations on strategy and technique.
*Tennis is my passion. I take it seriously. It is not a side gig after a day job. If I am not hitting with a client I am always hitting or working out 🏋🏾♂️ at home to improve my own game.
Very flexible schedule. Fee is $60/hr for just hitting, $75/hr for technical and hitting session.
Discounts available if sessions are paid in advance in packages of 5, 10, 15 or 20 hours. Willing to travel to surrounding East Bay locations (Berkeley, Oakland, Piedmont, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, Moraga, Orinda, Lafayette, Albany, El Cerrito, Castro Valley, Concord, Pleasant Hill etc)
