Public courts, a basic racket, and someone to tell you it's fine to miss. That's how we start.

About
I took tennis lessons for one summer as a teenager and didn’t pick up a racket again until my thirties. I started by hitting against a wall at a public court near my apartment, and it took months to find people at my level to play with.
I help beginners and returning players get going without expensive lessons: choosing a racket and strings, simple drills you can do alone, how to find hitting partners and leagues around Boston, and building a serve you can rely on. Send me a short video of your strokes and we’ll go through it together on a call.
Best for
- Total beginners and lapsed players
- Practicing alone with a wall or a ball machine
- Finding partners and beginner leagues
