As a player, he was ranked #5 Nationally and #1 in Georgia. He has been selected Tennis Professional of the Year four times, and Senior Player of the Year twice.

This year we will offer 6 weeks of our fabulous tennis sessions. The mission of this camp is to teach the younger kids to actually PLAY Tennis versus just hitting balls! We will work hard to raise the level of play of the more advanced players. Each camper is placed in a group appropriate to his or her skill level from beginner, to intermediate and advanced. We stress solid fundamental ground strokes, volleys and serves and especially PLAYING the game! Match play, drills and fitness are coordinated in each daily plan done in a fun environment. Our goal is to teach the strategy of the game as well as the basic fundamental strokes. Our staff tailors instruction to each camper's abilities with our low student/ teacher ratio. We offer at least 30 hours of tennis instruction per session plus off-court cross training activities.
