REVIEW FROM A STUDENT: I had the pleasure of taking lessons from Manny for about 2 years. He introduced me to tennis and taught me the fundamentals, giving me the competitive edge on my high school team and preparing me for my first USTA match. Coach Manny believes that anyone can play tennis and teaches students that tennis is a sport of a lifetime. No matter your age and ability, Coach Manny will help you get to the level that you want. He is kind and dedicated coach, who's passion for tennis leaves students inspired and motivated. I would rate Coach Manny 5 out of 5 stars and recommend him to anyone I know.
