About Me

Hi, my name is Wendy. Tennis has been the center of my life since I was 8-years-old. During my junior year I was ranked No. 32 in the Venezuelan Federation tennis rankings. Following my passion for tennis I became a kids tennis coach and since then it has been the best decision of my life. I love teaching new students this beautiful sport and I make sure they get to know the game and love it as much as I do.

Teaching Style

My tennis lessons have been specifically developed to help kids have fun and success in tennis as soon as possible. Specialized equipment is used: lighter racquets, modified courts, small nets and low compression balls. As children get older, develop better skills and learn more technique, they graduate to full size tennis courts and full compression balls.

My classes have three main goals:

Having fun – I believe in teaching children through playing games. Therefore, as well as technical elements each lesson will be full of all sorts of “modified tennis” games. So children will play “up dog”, “down dog”, “splat rallies”, “tennis cricket”, “tennis baseball”, “pass the chook”, “hot potato”, “fruit salad”, “crocodile”, “shoot the duck”, “around the world”, “elimination” and many other strange sounding games! These games help teach basic coordination, technical tennis skills, teamwork and fair play, as well as making the learning experience fun!

Acquisition of skills and coordination – Children will progress from introductory sessions that focus on hand-eye coordination, body control, and balance through to technical stroke production and tactical point play. Underpinned by a philosophy of “learning through play” lessons plans constantly evolve to ensure children are being challenged.

Learning respect, discipline and fair play – Each tennis lesson is an opportunity for your child to implement the important life skills they learn at home and in the classroom. Children will be expected to show respect by listening and following instructions. And in game situations rewards will be given, based upon fair play and honesty, not just winning.
