About
My name is Larry Loeb and I live in Riverside, California. I am originally from Denver, Colorado. I am a USPTA Elite Tennis Professional. I was Director of Tennis at the Denver Tennis Club for twenty years and at Andulka Park Tennis Center, in Riverside, for seven years. I now teach, coach and train juniors and adults in the Inland Empire, giving private and semi-private lessons to players ages 6 - 86. I am currently giving lessons at a private residence in Riverside. I was named USPTA California Divisional “Pro of the Year” in 2010 and “Player of the Year” in 2012. I was selected to be a Coach of the Southern California Tennis Association (SCTA) 14 & Under Zonals Team in 2016, 2014, 2013 and 2012. I have taught and coached adult and junior tennis players, of all ages and abilities, in groups, camps and individually, at both private and public tennis facilities. I personally taught and coached more state, sectional and nationally ranked players, including several national champions, than, perhaps, any other tennis professional in Colorado.
I was the top-ranked Intermountain junior, and in high school, I was undefeated all three years, winning the Colorado State High School #1 Singles Championship 3 straight years. I was the captain and #1 player at the University of Pennsylvania, earning All Ivy-League and All-Eastern Conference honors. I was the top ranked player in Colorado in Men’s Open and played the ATP circuit, earning a career ranking of #310. I won two bronze medals at the 1977 World Maccabiah Games in Israel, and won the USPTA Men’s Open National Championships in 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1984. I am consistently one of the top senior players in the United States, and was ranked #1 in the U.S. Men’s 40 Singles in 1992. More recently, I was ranked #1 in Southern California Men’s 60 Singles in 2013 and 2014.
I teach everything - strokes, footwork, tactics, strategy, singles, doubles, the mental game, conditioning, how to compete and how to win. I want my students to love the sport as much as I do and to achieve their tennis goals - and I make tennis fun! And I'll make you laugh with my great jokes!!
