Coach Billy is an incredible teacher, making tennis fun, dynamic and interactive across a variety of formats, ranging from private lessons, to small groups to larger drop-in classes. My kids and I all take lessons/classes with him and in my experience, he has a unique blend of working on strategic, physical and mental aspects of the game, which are all invaluable to improving. During the course of a lesson, he will keep things moving very quickly, spending just enough time on a drill, before moving on to a new one. In a 1 hour class, we will typically do 4-5 drills, targeting different, frequently arising match scenarios or working on a specific set of skills. Throughout the lessons, Billy will point out when certain shot choices or the execution weren’t ideal and why, while also highlighting well played points. I learn something new every time I play with Billy and can’t recommend him highly enough for both adults and kids. My daughter’s game has completely transformed since starting with Billy about a year ago. He has a way of helping everyone push themselves to reaching new heights and being their best tennis player, while keeping it fun along the way. Thank you Billy!

I’ve been taking private lessons and going to team drills with Coach Billy for a little over a year, and in that time he’s helped me improve both my technical and strategic skills very much. I even got bumped up a level from 3.0 to 3.5 to 4.0. His team drills are fast-paced and fun, he teaches with a positive attitude and encouragement, and he very obviously loves the sport. He also coached my nephew into the high school State Championships in just 2 seasons, and actively facilitates connection and growth within the local tennis community and as the coach at Monarch HS. I highly recommend him!

Billy is a great teacher. He has given lessons to my teenaged sons, myself, and my tennis team. He can teach all levels. He is able to quickly identify something you are struggling with and help correct it. He has really helped my team to improve court position and movement during doubles play. He keeps drills moving but still gives plenty of pointers. He is a lot of fun and has really improved my game and my sons’ games! Highly recommend lessons with Billy!

Billy's lesson was quite good, especially how he zeroed in on my serve and rally consistency, which really helped me see where I can improve. Still, I think I need to put in more practice outside of lessons to fully get the hang of it. Though I left feeling more prepared for my next match, I’ll definitely keep working on those areas. If you want a coach who pays attention to your specific needs, it’s worth trying Billy out.

Billy is a terrific coach for both teens and adults. He has been instrumental in helping my team mate and I improve our skills and better our game strategy. He also does great with my teen daughter who has some coordination issues. He is patient and supportive and has helped her gain confidence and skills. I highly recommend.
