Our Mission
Our mission is to instill a love of tennis in each player we coach.
We offer programs for all ages and abilities, and can customize our programs to meet your needs. We also offer pickleball lessons and help with organizing pickleball leagues.
We look forward to growing this great game of tennis, which is truly a sport for a lifetime.

Jandre van Wyk
(AKA coach Dre)
- Dre is a tennis coach, a newlywed, and recently received his bachelors degree. He was born and raised in South Africa, and made the decision to move to the US to pursue his tennis career when he was 18. He is now proud to be a US citizen, but loves to travel abroad. "I love any sport that involves a ball. And odds are, I'll probably beat you at it! I greatly value spending time with my friends and family, and when I'm not with them or playing sports, I find myself awed by the outdoors, enjoying nature's beauty."
Coach Courtney
- Coach Courtney grew up playing tennis as a young girl. After a short 25 year hiatus from the game, and four children later, she began playing once again. She is a now an active league player, current state champ, certified USTA coach, and our JTT Coordinator. She has never lost a set to Coach Dre, and often reminds him that she plays tennis "Full Western, Full Time" (she even brushes her teeth with a full western grip).
