Cali M.

I was born and raised in Carlsbad, California, where my passion for tennis first took shape. I traveled around the country as a kid competing in tournaments on the national and international stage. As a member of the Class of 2018, I was ranked the No. 3 recruit in the nation and went on to attend Arizona State University on a full‑ride tennis scholarship. While at ASU, I was part of the Barrett Honors College and completed my degree in Sports Business in just three and a half years. During the summers in college, I worked at The Village - DC Ranch, which is a highly regarded country club in North Scottsdale catering to elite junior academies and lively adult clinics. After graduating, I spent three and a half years with the Coachella Valley Firebirds while also teaching tennis to players of all ages, from young beginners to seasoned adults. My husband and I now call Henderson, Nevada home, where I serve as the Director of Premium and Membership Services for the Henderson Silver Knights. To this day, I am still in contact with one of my former students as her parents send me match and practice footage to analyze her stroke. Tennis remains one of my greatest passions, and I’m committed to making a meaningful impact on every player I work with and every game I help shape.

At the start of every lesson, we will take 3-5 minutes going over what you want to work on. This is YOUR hour and I want to ensure we are working on what you feel uncomfortable with. Growth in tennis is when you get comfortable being uncomfortable! I enjoy adding in footwork and agility drills in addition to hitting balls. I want you to leave every lesson feeling that you not only got better, but you also had a blast and got a great workout!
