Mark T.
Stone Oak

“I was tired of getting targeted at the kitchen line. My coach taught me how to properly reset hard drives and keep the ball low.”

Sarah J.
Alamo Heights

“Transitioning from tennis was hard. We spent three lessons un-learning my big swings and focusing entirely on dink technique.”

David L.
Pearl District

“My third shot drop finally clicks. I used to just bang the ball and hope, but now I can actually dictate the pace of the point.”
