Introduction
Tennis is my passion and I would really enjoy giving you lessons! I have been playing tennis for 40+ years. I am a member of the USTA (United States Tennis Association) and have played in USTA league tennis for 30+ years. This includes 5 trips to USTA National level playoffs. Currently, I am the Head Tennis Coach at an east bay high school. I coach both the boy’s and girl’s teams. In addition, I run a tennis camp for 4 - 8 grade students each summer. I am a Certified Professional of the USPTA (United States Professional Tennis Association). USPTA certification requires extensive testing of an applicants knowledge of tennis, coaching ability, and personal playing skills. I teach tennis to adults and children of all ages and abilities. I have worked with players with little or no tennis experience to tournament level players. A typical lesson will focus on teaching proper stroke mechanics, good footwork, strategy, and creating a fun and positive environment. If you have any questions or would like to schedule lessons, please contact me. Thank You, Gary

Gary is the best! He has so much patience with me. I’m a beginner and he really teaches you the basics not just “hit it back and forth” kinda deal. He really teaches you the fundamentals behind tennis. I wish I could take his class every week!

I was apprehensive about getting back to tennis after 25 years. Gary is a complete professional. He is encouraging and has a teaching style that works well. I look forward to our sessions every week!
