USPTA Pro

Mel looks beyond perfecting strokes. He hones in on existing skill & natural ability while developing a positive mentality. His approach is kind and patient. He breaks down issues and challenges in easy to understand communication.

Coach Mel is fantastic. He focuses on the individual and really makes tennis a joy to learn and play.

He is great with kids of all ages. My son and daughter really enjoyed learning tennis through various drills and games that the pro was able to implement based on their skill level. Great communicator and keeps learning fun!

I, myself, was a DI tennis athlete, and I cannot say enough how much it was a pleasure for Mel to coach and teach my daughter, who now plays at a collegiate level. Mel has a work ethic and teaching style that challenged her all the while making it fun. He was flexible and was able to adapt the lessons on what she needed and wanted to work on. He has a friendly, encouraging approach articulating the technical and mental aspects of the game. They were simple and direct. I’d recommend him to any player of any age of any level.

Quickly identifies weakness in game and explains the correction. Pleasant personality. Open to student feedback

Professional, shows patience, and fun. Will adjust to your skill level, while providing technical instruction to get you to the next.
