About Bill

Hi my name is Bill & I’m a fun, local Spring Valley tennis coach with over 47 years of playing experience! I peaked as one of the best 5.0 players in NorCal during the early 2000’s making the Top 8 in Grand Prix points and making the season end tournament. I was especially known for kick serves and world class volleys. I have been coaching for 34 years and I am the author of 7 books. My former players have played the professional tour, many have played college tennis and around 100 have won championships & awards in high school tennis.

On the other hand, about 80% of people who play tennis just want to rally with a friend, 15% want to just play socially and not embarrass themselves and less than 5% want to get super competitive. I love them all! Which one are you? For many years I was a USPTA and PTR pro, but I have studied so much neuroscience and much of what they teach no longer appeals to me or students. I get you playing FAST!

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 the Spring Valley area but I am also willing to travel up to 10 miles to a tennis court that is conveniently near you.

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 Spring Valley tennis coach. See you on court!

Testimonials

"I started taking tennis lessons from Coach Bill along with my 6 year old daughter and now we're hooked on this fabulous sport! Coach Bill is so good with the kids. Each lesson is a combination of him teaching my daughter how to hold the racket, how to hit the ball, how to be a good sport and how to be a decent person in general. As for me, well I've done many sports in my lifetime and Bill is the best coach I've ever had. Armed with a great sense of humor and an abundance of tennis knowledge, he makes me want to try my hardest to improve. I learn something from each lesson and have a fantastic time in the process!"

Testimonials

"I really like taking lessons from Bill. He knows tennis and you can tell he loves every aspect of the game and has a growth mindset. Check out his tennis books! You walk away with information on playing tennis but also the mental aspect. The lessons are fun and informative and make you think outside the box. I can already apply what I learned right away!"

Testimonials

"I feel incredibly lucky to have come across Bill as a tennis coach. I've received four lessons so far and am excited to continue lessons with him. His style of coaching resonates deeply with me-he focuses on the mental game of tennis and aligns with the philosophy taught in "The Inner Game of Tennis" by Timothy Gallwey. Above and beyond providing technical corrections, he supports you in building trust in yourself and trust in your natural feel for the game. When he steps into teaching or correcting my form or stroke, he coaches in a way that makes the game feel very intuitive. Outside of tennis itself, he's a clever and hilarious person which makes everything all the more fun!"

Testimonials

"Bill has a unique way of coaching, one that really makes a difference. I played tennis as a young girl (4.0) and I haven't played in a long time. From the wrist, the grip, levels of swing, stance, footing - he knows it all. His method of coaching helped my game in the shortest time, much quicker than past coaches. I highly recommend seeing Bill if you want to become a great player!"
