Tennis Lessons In Bonita Springs FL

"I was fortunate enough to land a tennis lesson with Coach Todd from Naples, FL when I was down there visiting a good friend in November. I feel that I learned more in one hour from his instruction than I had in multiple classes a few years back. He provided key techniques for all the basics-grip, forehand, backhand, volley and serve that I had never fully understood before. Each element was explained so clearly that I was able to grasp what was needed and accomplish it. He was also so encouraging that he made me want to practice and believe that I could actually learn the sport, at least enough to enjoy its social aspects. Oh, and by the way, I’m 75, and with his instruction, and advice to practice twice a week, he was confident that I could even become a quite respectable tennis player. Todd has been training people in tennis and pickleball for decades, so I’m sure he’d be able to assist persons and improve the game of players (and prospective players) at almost any skill level!"

"I have been working with Elias for the last two years. When I started with him, I was a beginner at tennis and he showed me the fundamentals that helped me comfortably join matches. His tennis instruction was excellent in that he was very personable and also easy to learn from. He pieces together instruction in ways that build upon prior lessons. I found it very easy to work on the techniques he had me practicing!"

"Elias is currently my oldest son’s tennis instructor. He came highly recommended by many and so we decided to pursue tennis lessons and we are very grateful that we chose to have Elias instruct our son. He is an excellent instructor!"

"Elias is a great tennis coach, very professional and totally committed to run his business in the best possible way, and even more than that, in making a positive impact on kids about loving the sport and living a healthy life!"

"I have had the opportunity to observe, first hand, Elias' knowledge and expertise of tennis as well as his ability to impart this to adults and children alike. It's one thing to be able to simply play a sport at an elite level, another to be able to teach, coach and communicate this in a positive manner either one on one or to groups young and old. Elias does this in a very enthusiastic and positive way. I highly recommend him!"

"My family has been taking tennis lessons with Elias since January and we are very happy with his services. He makes tennis fun for the children with a variety of drills and games. Elias has not only shown my children the basics in the game of tennis, but helps them learn to follow instructions, wait in line, and take turns. The children look forward to their lesson each week. Elias is very knowledgeable and professional and with his help, anyone can learn the game of tennis and improve their skills. I recommend him as a tennis instructor!"

"As a tennis coach, he is truly exceptional. He was a national qualifier in Germany. I and my family have been students of Elias and he is the best instructor we have ever had!"

"I highly recommend Adam Gislason as a tennis coach for all ages. Adam has been instructing my six year old and his three friends once a week in a small group lesson. Adam has the special ability to keep the children engaged and orderly, while still allowing for tons of laughter and fun, and all while effectively developing their tennis skills and appreciation of the game. It has been amazing to watch the kids improve from week to week and a pleasure to witness the joy on their faces throughout it all. After watching my son, I got the tennis bug and also started taking private and semi-private lessons. My lessons are a great workout and also provide my friend and I a nice social outlet. Adam is a super kind guy and is very knowledgeable about the game and its coaching & instructional methods. I couldn’t be more pleased with him and our tennis journey!"

“My daughter, Annika, walked into her first tennis lesson with Coach Adam having never even picked up a tennis racquet. Coach Adam’s natural ability for working with children and his extensive knowledge of the fundamentals of the game of tennis, accompanied by his sincere, compassionate, gentle, patient and genuinely positive demeanor allowed my daughter to make great gains in her aptitude as a tennis player and most importantly, built confidence and pride in herself and her abilities as an athlete!"

“My parents started taking tennis lessons with Coach Adam last summer in Hackensack, Minnesota. My Dad was so impressed with his skills as a teacher that he thought my 7 year old son would benefit from working with Coach Adam. Coach Adam created a teaching environment that was fun and enjoyable for my son and also inspired him to want to play more tennis. My goal in providing tennis lessons for my son was for him to love the game and Coach Adam exceeded my expectations!”

“I have known Adam and Amelia Gislason for at least a couple of years. Just last summer while vacationing in Minnesota, I decided to have my 21 year old son, Jack, take tennis lessons from Coach Adam. Jack has Fragile X Syndrome (the leading inherited cause of Mental Retardation). As a mother, I am often hesitant that Jack will be a problem or difficult to instruct. Coach Adam was unbelievable. He gave Jack such a love for the game and was so tolerant of Jack’s antics…like listening to Jack say, “You are going down!”

“We are residents of Cobblestone Court and have enjoyed living here during the winter months. One of the great highlights has been the tennis clinics that our tennis professional Adam Gislason has created for all tennis levels. We were average tennis players years ago, but with these free clinics that Royal Wood offers along with the level of enthusiasm, professionalism and quality of teaching and coaching, our tennis interest has been renewed. Adam’s instruction has been outstanding!"

“Adam is an amazing tennis coach! My 9 year old daughter had never picked up a tennis racquet before this summer. Through Adam, she discovered a new love and a lifelong sport. The progress she made was amazing! By the end of the summer, she was able to serve, volley, play a game and keep score! She was very sad after her last tennis lesson, but was cheered by the fact that she would get to take lessons from Coach Adam again next summer!"

“Adam helped me make real progress in my game. He is very dedicated and has been willing to work tirelessly with me. Adam always consistently comes back to the fundamentals of tennis and makes sure you keep them in mind. He is also great with children. When he gave lessons to my nieces and nephew he made sure to work with each child at their individual level. He has been a huge asset at Cedar Hammock!”

“I arrived a complete novice at my first tennis lesson with my brand new tennis racquet in hand and my brand new tennis shoes tied tightly. As soon as the lesson started, I realized how blessed I was to have our tennis professional Adam Gislason as my tennis instructor. With great patience, over several sessions, he showed the other students and myself the basics of the game-positioning, forehand, backhand, volleys and serve!"

“My 7 year old daughter Ellery and 6 year old son Colton were both brand new to the sport of tennis. Coach Adam is a great teacher and wonderful with the kids in private, semi-private and group tennis lessons. He introduced them to the basics of tennis through a series of games and drills, keeping it fun and exciting. All the kids loved him and they could not wait until their next tennis lesson. As young athletes, my children grew in their confidence on and off the court because Coach Adam believed they could succeed!"
