About Me
Hello, my name is Allen and I am a local Milwaukee tennis coach with over 40 years of playing experience and over 10 years of teaching experience! After I retired as a Senior Graphic Designer in 2009, I turned my attention to another lifelong passion, tennis! Since then, I have earned three gold as well as five silver medals in tennis while participating in the Senior Olympics. I have also been a boys and girls tennis coach at Brookfield Central High School since 2013 and served as the head tennis coach for Mount Mary University located in Milwaukee (NCAA Division 3) back in 2016. I am currently employed as a tennis instructor for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Teaching Style
I offer fun private tennis lessons, semi-private tennis lessons, and group tennis lessons for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). I tailor lessons to each individual’s needs and skill level. I offer instructions on mechanics and send videos to my students so they can compare their techniques to online professionals. So, whether you need to work on specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot, approach shot, footwork, singles strategy, or doubles strategy would be more than happy to help you out with your tennis game!

My daughter's initial lesson with Allen was phenomenal ~ he took the time, the care, the patience, the detail, the encouragement, & the motivation working with her engaging in a newer sport by custom fitting it to support her strong athleticism & competetive nature. His approach working one on one is some of the BEST coaching she has received over the past 12 yrs in a multitude of different sports arenas. He designed it to meet her immediate needs & goals by engaging in conversation getting to know & understand her. She left there feeling not only confident already in her skills, but excited for the next steps. Allen is old school in the most positive way, & I'd highly recommend him to any one looking for stellar tennis coaching!
"We thoroughly enjoyed our training sessions with Coach Allen! My husband and I played mid-level tennis in high school, and then took a 25-year hiatus. Allen took the time to assess our skills, build on our strengths and work through the weak points in our game. It was very encouraging to see progress after each session, and a dramatic jump in our skills by the end of the season. We're looking forward to resuming our lessons in the spring!"

I would highly recommend Allen. My daughter had played a little tennis but had never taken formal lessons and wanted to improve. She started showing notable progress after the very first lesson. He walked her through the different parts of the game and provided valuable resources that she could use on her own. He struck a great balance between helping my daughter to improve and encouraging her to love the sport. She always enjoyed working with him and looked forward to each lesson. He was a great teacher that I would recommend regardless of ability level. Tim
Coach Allen covers fundamentals as well as intermediate / advanced skills and techniques using easy to understand language and drills. I learn so much in one hour I am amazed! Great rapport, good feedback, useful tips/homework - I know I will be closer to achieving my goals as move forward. Highly recommend!
I started working with Allen Neuwirth last Fall as a new tennis player. Allen was able to quickly assess my current abilities and recommend adjustments to improve my ground strokes, net play, and serves. I am now able to hold my own within 3.0 matches.
