My daughter has discovered that she loves tennis!
I love that he is encouraging and good with my son who isn’t naturally athletic. Some parent coaches are not that gracious. I am so thankful for this experience for him.
My daughter enjoys the instruction and has certainly improved. She also has enjoyed meeting other tennis players in the area and has made new friends.
Vetta is a great environment for teaching kids the correct way to play tennis in a fun and exciting atmosphere.
The coaches are very encouraging to both of our kids attending the clinic. We have a Junior in high school and a freshman who just started playing and she loves it. Thank you for being so great with the kids.
