Tony's Tennis Academy
I Offer Different Types of Tennis Lessons & Training
Tony's Credentials
Trained by US Tennis Professionals at the US Open for Tennis 10 and Under, and trained by some of the top USTA Professionals for High School Coaching, Tony utilizes a technique called "P.A.S.S.", which stands for Path of the Racket, Angle of the Racket, Speed of the Racket, and Stance in drastically improving a player's game. I am a tournament ready player in the top 100 Men in the Mid-Atlantic Region, won numerous local tournaments, Runner-up in European Military Tournament, and a 4-time Champion at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. More than that, I care about your tennis progress.
Private & Group Lessons/Seasoned Stringer 1-Day Guarantee
Individual and group play include games, fun events, lots of drills as recommended from the "Tennis in a Can" series sponsored by Nick Bolletieri, and are offered for single or group lessons, with friends, or for the entire family. While rates are very practical, my training is often preferred over area club Pros with higher rates and less time. I have all the equipment necessary to quickly build game-ready confidence and skills. Organized play is held in the greater Springfield, VA area. Training never stops - all year - all winter - everyday - and on weekends. Currently working with three new prospective High School Players and numerous other younger players, adult male and female, and occasionally entire families with activities. Many references available w/request.
Children-n-Sports
I have specialized equipment, extensive experience with children as a former school-age services director, child-care director, 30 years of coaching experience in teaching children and youth, hold three Masters in Education, another Masters in Human Relations, and a final one in Business Management with a minor in Psychology. I have taught numerous sports, but specialize in tennis now as that is my most polished sport and lifeline. My equipment and games are age appropriate, enticing to children, and sessions are commonly held in a group-setting where children have fun with other children in lots of spirited games, fitness, ball-machine, and well-organized activities.
