Daryl Lee Tennis Lessons
About
I've found coaching gratifying for 31 years. I treat each student as an individual by learning to understand her or his personality. I collaborate with students so they gradually learn to coach themselves. My students improve.
I really enjoy collaborating with students and passing on what I've learned. I'm comfortable mentoring students of all ages. Several students have earned tennis scholarships for college.
I was also the UC Davis Head Men's Tennis Coach for 19 years. I coached eight All-Americans and was a two-time West Region Coach of the Year.
