About Roger

*I AM NOT CURRENTLY TAKING ANY NEW TENNIS STUDENTS*

Hi, my name is Roger and I am a local Alexandria tennis coach with over 45 years of playing experience. I have been providing tennis lessons, both private and group, for more than 25 years. I have extensive experience teaching players of all ages and skill levels.

During my time as a certified tennis instructor, I have served as a teaching pro for the Ft. Washington Pool and Tennis Association (MD), Washington Tennis Services International, City of Falls Church (VA), Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and as an independent private tennis instructor throughout DMV.

Over the years, I have directed summer tennis camps and served as both a men’s and juniors’ team tennis coach through the Greater Washington Tennis Association, National Junior Tennis League and First Serve Tennis Academy. Although I specialize in and especially enjoy teaching beginner and intermediate players of all ages, I can teach players at all skill levels, including those with special needs.

Private, semi-private and small group lessons allow for individualized instruction which is absent in large group lessons. The lessons are more enjoyable and productive because I can work at a pace that is comfortable for each individual. If a student needs more focused attention on a particular stroke or movement during the lesson, then we have the flexibility to spend more time in those specific areas.

My teaching style involves breaking down the strokes in a way that makes them easy to understand and execute, while also clearly explaining the function of each step in the process. I incorporate the use of fun and innovative drills, games and match play to strengthen skills. I teach tennis lessons at various outdoor locations throughout Northern Virginia and will travel up to 20 miles to a court near you.

Please feel free to contact me through my coach page and then I will contact you back within 24 hours to introduce myself, answer any questions and if you are interested, set-up your first tennis lesson or hitting session at a time and place that is convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you and I look forward to the opportunity to be your Alexandria tennis coach. I hope to see you out on the court!

Rini

Oakton, Virginia

Testimonials

"I am an intermediate player and I am taking semi-private lessons with Roger. I have taken many tennis lessons in the past and I've never had as dedicated and as fabulous a coach as Roger. I greatly appreciate Roger's detailed explanations and breakdowns of all strokes and strategies. After all these years of lessons, it's finally clicking! I also love all the drills-they are repetitive enough to gain muscle memory, but Roger changes it up enough to keep things fun. Roger is energetic and cheerful. I always feel like staying longer to play or chat!"

Testimonials

"Roger is a fantastic coach! I've recently come back to the game after a very long hiatus and Roger's patience, focus on technique, and friendly demeanor have helped me to feel comfortable jumping back on the court. He thoroughly explained the physics of the shots and guided me through the strategy of the game from the very first lesson. As someone who has had to essentially start over from the beginning, and who has seen a major improvement in just 6 lessons, I can highly recommend Roger as a tennis coach!"
