Coach Kenny took me from a 2 UTR to a low 5 UTR at 14, introducing me to tournaments and supporting me every step of the way. His private lessons improved my skills, strategy, and confidence. He didn’t just teach me tennis—he taught me how to compete and believe in myself.

I had coach Kenny back when he was in Eugene and he really changed my game. I was at a 3 utr level until came and introduced me to the world of usta and more competitive tennis. He changed my game to be more adaptable and now I am trying to play college tennis

As a beginner, I struggled with my backhand, but Kenny made it so much easier to learn. He broke everything down step by step and gave me simple drills that helped me improve quickly. He was patient, encouraging, and always knew exactly what adjustments I needed. Thanks to his coaching, I feel way more confident on the court!

Kenny is an incredible tennis coach who helped transform my forehand. He quickly identified the key issues in my technique and provided clear, effective drills to fix them. His attention to detail and ability to explain concepts in a way that makes sense made a huge difference in my game. After working with him, my forehand is more consistent, powerful, and reliable under pressure. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to improve!
