About Derek
Hello my name is Derek and I am a local Glendale tennis coach with over 20 years of playing experience and over 12 years of teaching experience! I am currently the Head Men’s Tennis Coach at Grand Canyon University. From 2018-2022, I was an assistant tennis coach at TCU where we were indoor national champions and ranked #1 in the country. From 2014-2018, I was an assistant coach at Gonzaga and played my college tennis at San Diego State University. I look forward to growing the great game of tennis in the Phoenix area!
I am offering fun private tennis lessons, semi-private tennis lessons, group tennis lessons and hitting only sessions for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot, approach shot, footwork, singles strategy or doubles strategy-I would be more than happy to help you out with your tennis game!
I teach tennis lessons in Phoenix over at Grand Canyon University.
Please contact me through my FindTennisLessons.com coach page and then I will contact you back within 24 hours to introduce myself, answer any questions and if you are interested, we’ll 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 Glendale tennis coach. See you on the court!
