Private Lessons & Coaches in South Amboy, NJ

Hey fellow tennis enthusiasts! I started my journey with a wooden racquet from a garage sale, facing giggles and doubts at age 8. But I learned that tennis is for everyone - no matter your age, skill, or gear. Years have flown by, and now I'm the proud founder of Astoria Tennis, NYC's largest public tennis community. I believe in creating an inclusive space where we all can learn, play, and revel in the joy of tennis. Let's embrace the game together, and remember, it's never about the racquet, but the heart that wields it!

"I’ve been training with Coach Danny for a little over a month now and I can honestly say my game has improved more in that time than it has in the past few years.

"In my lessons with Coach Jhazeal, I went from averaging 4pts a game to averaging 22pts a game. He helped me grow 500% better in on court performance. He helped me understand that performance anxiety is common but continuous work and practice will slowly dissolve that problem and he was right. Our practices are always fun and motivating. He even came to some of my games to help cheer me on which made me feel even better. I highly recommend.

I started swinging a tennis racquet at the age of 13 hitting a wall and getting fascinated while watching the major tournaments on TV with my dad and instantly falling in love with the sport!

Today, my love for the sport still grows as I play on a regular basis, participating in local tournaments and events, as I'm equally excited of sharing this fondness to other enthusiast people out there.
