WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
We came across Michael through a recommendation and it completely changed our son’s tennis. The structure, clarity and level of coaching in 10s Select gave him direction and confidence — not just in training, but in competition as well.
My oldest daughter, Sasha started Teddy Tennis lessons at 3 years of age (in 2012) at the Martin Street squash courts with Michael. She participated in a group lesson with 3 other children of a similar age.
From April 2007 to January 2009, Michael served as the Head Coach of my Academy, CLTA. My program focuses on serious tournament training and preparing players with a world-class foundation for future top collegeand professional play.
