Inspiring the Next Generation of Athletes

ok so i was not expecting to actually get hooked on tennis but here we are. lessons are well structured but never feel rigid, and Lucas is super flexible and works around your schedule as much as possible. you can tell he actually enjoys what he does and isn’t just going through the motions. courts are clean, atmosphere is chill. would recommend especially if you’re trying to get into tennis without it feeling like a whole thing.

Bruno Parente Google Review

My son (7yro) has taken tennis lessons at 3 different academies before finding Coach Lucas & we are finally happy! At other academies they tell you by words how to fix your form, but my son was still hitting it wrongly because it was hard to change with just verbal guidance. Coach Lucas is hands on with fixing how to properly hit, so my son learns the basic techniques correctly first, which we love! He’s also very friendly and makes the class fun, which keeps my son & his friends engaged. We highly recommend him 🙂

Aya Sato Google Review

I’m an adult returning to tennis after casually playing in my youth, and I decided to learn to do it correctly this time! I feel super lucky to have found Lucas to coach me, and I’ve made some decent progress in 3 months. More importantly, it’s been a positive and stress-reducing hobby — Lucas gives easy-to-digest tips and corrections that don’t feel like criticism. He keeps it light and fun but also ensures I’m making real progress. Highly recommend trying a class with him!
