Tennis lessons in Raleigh, North Carolina

I take lessons from Allen and I can tell you this: he has the focus, knowledge and skills to motivate you to the next level. Don't just take lessons from someone that teaches at the local club and doesn't have long experience. Allen has played Division 1A and knows how the game as changed over the past 25 years. Trust me, you will be very happy you chose him for your tennis instruction and/or training. He will probably get booked up if you don't act soon and get yourself into his schedule."

"Allen is an absolute pleasure to work with. After only a few sessions, I was already able to see a dramatic improvement in my strokes. He is able to identify what you're doing wrong, and give tips on how to fix it. He's a positive person, and gives great feedback in an encouraging way. Also, he's not cheap with her time, and takes the extra time to talk you through things and continue to work on specific problem areas at the end of the lesson. Very highly recommended!"

"Allen is a genius! His patient approach helped me to change to a forehand grip after playing for 50 years with a continental grip. I'm 65 years old (with 2 knee replacements) and don't handle changes easily. Coach suggested we change my grip to semi-western in order to improve my forehand. It was frustrating at first, but I've already gotten rid of my arm band for my tennis elbow and I'm having more fun than ever playing tennis. Thank you so much!"

"We're so lucky to have found Coach Allen! Our five kids have a weekly clinic with him. They love him and can't wait to start their lessons. He provides one-on-one time with each student while the others are practicing drills. He controls the lessons with patience, firmness and good humor and the kids happily follow his instructions. He's a former Middle/High school teacher and knows how to handle groups to keep them engaged."

“"Coach Allen helped my kids and I with tennis lessons and was very professional and a great instructor. He is able to work with all age levels and will definitely improve your game no matter what experience you bring to the court!"”

“I’d say the lesson with Allen was quite good, mainly because he’s very patient and thorough, which I appreciate. Still, I think more practice of the basics could help me build a stronger foundation.”
