I've been taking private lessons with Lucas now for a few years and have seen my tennis strokes, footwork, and match play steadily improve. Lucas has always been encouraging and positive, works hard during our lessons and goes the extra mile, and has been invested in improving all aspects of my tennis game.

I have been taking lessons with Lucas for a few months now, and felt an improvement in my tennis strokes and game almost immediately. He listens to you, and makes an effort to address your tennis concerns. I trust that he'll help me work it out so that I leave feeling like I have some options on what to do next time on the court. He is a high level player himself, so the lessons can be more intensive, which I appreciate. Highly recommend!
