These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.


Hello, my name is Alicia, and I’m a local Delray Beach tennis coach with over 18 years of playing experience and more than 8 years of teaching under my belt. I’m a former #3 ITF World Junior Ranked Player, a US Open Junior Championships Singles Finalist, and I held a WTA Professional Ranking of #404, with numerous Pro Circuit Singles Titles to my name. As the #1 ranked player in the US National Rankings in every age division and a multiple Gold Ball National Singles Title holder, I’ve been immersed in tennis since I was 3. Although an injury ended my playing career, I’m dedicated to inspiring, training, and developing the next generation of players.
"Alicia was great! This was my first time playing tennis ever and she had great exercises, talked me through each step and gave active feedback. I had fun and am looking forward to playing more!



I have been a USPTA & USPTR certified teaching pro. I also played one year of semi pro basketball and boxed for 11 years and turned pro as well. I know how to get to the other side. I am a stickler for technique and I have a fun easy style of teaching that is easy to comprehend. I am a veteran of both the Army and Air Force and the youngest child of eight.
"I came to Vernon a little out of shape and honestly just wanting to get back into tennis and finally beat my sister, who was always the better player growing up. Vernon made the process fun and enjoyable from day one. The lessons are a great workout, the music is always good, and he keeps things light with his sense of humor while still focusing on improving your game. With his help, I got back in shape, improved my technique, and I can proudly say I finally beat my sister. I’m already looking forward to the next match. If you want to get better and actually enjoy the process, Vernon is the coach to go to.
