Perfect! Enjoyed my first lesson with coach D. He is precise and attentive. His constant reminder to correct forms is very helpful for beginners like me. I feel like I already improved a little after one class!

Perfect! Coach D started with a boom! The lesson was so fun and engaging, and most of all, Coach D is genuine about teaching students. Would def recommend to my friends!

Perfect! My friend and I play a lot of doubles together but thanks to Covid, a lot of our groups stop meeting up. Therefore, our game had slipped. We wanted to get back into the game but had trouble finding affordable lessons. That's when I found Coach D on this website. Demetrius is an excellent coach. His drills and lessons got us back to the fundamentals. He was very patient with the both of us since it been awhile since we've played. We really enjoyed his session that we booked our next session right on the spot. I highly recommend Coach D!

Perfect! Great experience! Coach D has a passion for the game that imprints onto his students. Im excited to improve and grow under his guidance. Great teacher!!!

Perfect! Amazing lesson. Will definitely go again

Perfect! Demetrius Is an amazing coach. I used to play tennis in high school and college and was actually quite good. However I quit in 2009 and haven't picked up a racquet since, and it showed. I am having to relearn everything all over again. He took me through every swing and grip and was very patient with me even though I did horrible, haha. I would recommend him to anyone that wanted to take lessons. He even went past our allotted time until he got through everything he wanted to go over and made sure I had a basic understanding as well. That was lesson one. I will continue taking lessons from him for sure!

Perfect! Demetrius is a great instructor! Very detailed, patient, kind, and enthusiastic!

Perfect! Great Coach! My daughter already learned so much after 2nd lesson! :)

Perfect! He's great with kids! Patient and knows how to have fun while teaching tennis.

Perfect! Demetrius is a kind, patie
nt, meticulous, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic instructor. He works well with beginners like myself.

Perfect! He is great couch!

Perfect! I am 60 yo and a complete beginner. He has patience. He has an orderly approach starting with the basics and building on that. Pushing me beyond my limit but not overwhelming me. Loved having the one on one instruction. As a result, whenever I slipped out of my formed he let me know immediately so I would not develop bad habits. I look forward to continuing my classes.

Perfect! The one on one lesson. His attention to detail. And the constant reminder to maintain good form. Demetrius is a great teacher

Perfect! Demetrius was great. I had a great training session. Very technical and good cardio. Explains each technique. Really made it fun for me. :)

Perfect! Great coach! I really enjoyed the session and learned a lot. Great teaching style. I would highly recommend Demetrius.

Perfect! Great tennis coach!
My 10 years old daughter really enjoys his lesson. Even after a few lessons, her technique is improved.
Highly recommended him for everyone who likes tennis!

Perfect! Demetrius is a great teacher. I'm very much a beginner and he took the time to explain and show me all of the proper grips and swings. Even after a few lessons, my technique is improved and I'm becoming comfortable on the court. I highly recommend him!

Perfect! Demetrius was wonderful! Very patient and knew hills drills. Great for relearning the fundamentals

Perfect! Coach Demetrius has been a great coach for my 7 yr old son. He keeps it fun and positive but also pushes my son to get better each time. In just a couple of lessons my son has progressed tremendously with the fundamentals of the game and he looks forward to his lessons every week!

Perfect! I'm learning all the basics: Grips, swing, Forehand, backhand, serve. Also, it's great to learn all the terminology and rules of the games. Demetrius does a great time explaining and showing me the correct techniques. I get a ton of balls to practice within the hour, it's a wonderful workout.

Perfect! Great tennis coach and instructor! Highly recommend for anyone looking for lessons.

Perfect! Great Tennis coach! Very personal! During the first lesson, he took the time to assess all of the different strokes (forehand, backhand, volleys, overheads, and serves) with a focus on getting me to proper technique and control over each hit. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will definitely be scheduling weekly lessons

Perfect! Excellent Instructor. Very productive lesson! - I’m a semi-begging player that was looking for a knowledgeable instructor to help me not only improve my tennis skills, but to help me learn the proper way of playing tennis. Demetrius superseded that at our very first training session because during and afterwards, I can honestly say he helped me improve my game technically, strategically, and mentally. His knowledge of tennis was evident and I could tell right from the start that he’s not giving lessons for the money but that he truly loves the game and loves seeing his students improve and achieve their tennis goals. He’s a great motivator with an awesome personality. I look forward to many more positive and effective tennis lessons!

Perfect! Great instructor! He specifically focuses on technique and ways you can improve. He's also very knowledgeable when it comes to tennis strategy. In addition to all that, he's a great motivator who is fun to be around. It's clear that he loves the game and wants to help others succeed. I knew right away after our first lesson that he would be able to help me take my game to new heights.

Perfect! He is professional and very knowledgeable in tennis. He focuses on the technique and does an assessment on your skill level to determine the best strategy to help you get your game back. Highly recommend him for all ages and levels of experience.

Perfect! He loves tennis and it is very obvious that he loves teaching. My 13 year old was resistant to take lessons but after just a few with Demetrius she has let us know that she enjoys lessons with better than playing with us. I think we're going to need to take lessons soon so we can all enjoy playing more.
