Coach Anthony
Serve + First Ball“We’ll build a serve you can trust, then connect it to the next shot. When your first two balls get cleaner, your whole game levels up.”
Coach Caleb
Footwork + Consistency“Most ‘inconsistency’ is really footwork. We’ll make spacing simple, then your strokes start feeling automatic instead of rushed.”

Common Questions About Tennis Instruction in Chicago
Local answers about courts, permits, winter training, and getting started.
Most lessons happen on nearby outdoor public courts (often Chicago Park District courts), your HOA/community courts, or club courts if you have access. If you don’t have a preferred location, we’ll suggest options close to you.
Helpful local resource: Chicago Park District tennis court locations.
Many outdoor courts are first-come, first-served. If you want guaranteed time for a set window, permits/reservations can help. We’ll guide you based on your location and goals.
Local resources: Chicago Park District athletic permits and the Chicago Park District reservation portal.
Usually within a few days. After you register, we introduce background-checked coaches quickly and you schedule directly with the coach you choose.
We stay flexible and prioritize safety. If weather makes outdoor courts unusable, we reschedule. For colder months, we can recommend indoor options based on your area and what’s available.
For a local indoor example, some players use facilities like McFetridge Sports Center court booking.
Yes. We coach juniors at all levels. Sessions are age-appropriate, confidence-building, and built around fundamentals that translate to real rallies and match play.
Absolutely. We’ll build a simple, repeatable point plan, plus serve/return structure, patterns, and score-based reps so you’re ready for sets, not just drills.
For local competition planning, many players also explore options through leagues, park programming, and area events. Cook County resource: Cook County recreation opportunities.
Yes. Up to 3 players can train together at no added cost per lesson. We’ll adjust the session so everyone gets reps and clear feedback.

Personal Tennis Training From Lincoln Park to Evanston
Private tennis lessons in Chicago help you improve faster on the courts you already use. We specialize in mobile coaching, meeting you at public gems like Waveland Park and Oz Park, or at your private club/condo court. One-on-one sessions focus on clean technique and match-play patterns. In winter, we can help coordinate sessions at indoor facilities or heated bubbles near Lincoln Park, Evanston, and Oak Park.
If you’re deciding where to train, start with local court resources. Chicago has a huge public court network, and many players find a nearby spot through the Chicago Park District tennis court locations. If you need guaranteed time (especially in peak season), permits and reservations can help, and the Chicago Park District provides guidance via athletic permits plus their reservation portal.
For broader local recreation planning, Cook County also maintains information on outdoor activities and recreation opportunities at CookCountyIL.gov. Whether your goal is confident rallies, USTA-style match readiness, or junior development, our Chicago tennis coaching is built around clear progressions so your improvement shows on court, not just in drills.
