Josh Stiles Tennis
About
I have been teaching tennis to all ages and levels for over 10 years. I am currently the Girl's Varsity Coach at Beaver Country Day in Newton. I am PTR certified by the professional tennis registry. I currently teach independently and have access to the indoor courts at the Waltham Athletic Club during the indoor season.
Each of my lessons will be based around the skill level and goals of the student. Some of the key things I focus on are: stroke development, game strategy, footwork, fitness, matchplay, rallying, service motion, doubles and singles. Lastly and most importantly, I encourage all to enjoy and love the game of tennis.
My previous experience includes working with Junior Varsity and Varsity high school teams, coaching and running elite junior programs, and coaching at various venues and clubs.
I was the 2012 and 2013 Co-Captain of Kenyon College's Men's Varsity Tennis Team. While playing for Kenyon College my senior class had the most successful class in the program’s history. We helped lift the Lords to a combined 88-20 record over four seasons including 4 time title holders of the NCAC Conference and NCAA Regional Championship, 4 time NCAA quarterfinalist, 2012 NCAA National Finalist, and 2013 NCAA National Indoor Champions.
