Douglas M.

I initially signed up for tennis lessons as a fun summer activity, without realizing just how much I would enjoy it and how much I would improve! Coach Douglas is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but he’s also a fantastic instructor—patient, encouraging, and always makes lessons enjoyable.

With summer coming to an end and my teaching schedule resuming, I unfortunately have to pause for now. However, the six lessons were more than enough to noticeably improve my game and boost my endurance. I’m excited to pick up where I left off and continue improving during the Winter break!

Highly recommend Coach Douglas for anyone looking to learn and have fun while doing it!

He is very patient and thorough coach, always punctual and fun! Even though I don't have time to practice as much as I should, I've made some serious progress with my technique.

Doug has been a really great instructor, always providing clear instructions and constructive feedback. Sessions are always fun and challenging!

Great instructor that helped me to understand the essential movements and dynamics of tennis. Would recommend Douglas

Douglas is fantastic. He helps me in areas where I am weak. He teaches me new techniques every time we have a lesson, and most importantly, he is patient.

I've only had 2 lessons with Douglas, so it is too early talk about improvements in my game. I can say, however, that he is very patient, a good listener and will provide you with positive feedback. I feel very comfortable suggesting some of the things I would like to work on and again, he's very responsive.

I don't know that 6 lessons will be enough to get my game to another level but I am encouraged and believe I will see some good results. Recommend him highly for being very professional and easy to work with.

Doug is patient when it comes to working on reinforcing proper technique. Within the first three lessons I have seen tremendous improvement. I will continue to take lessons with him.

Douglas is a great teacher. He gives actionable tips to help me improve my game, and makes each lesson fun and something to look forward to.

We thoroughly enjoy and appreciate Douglas's coaching of my partner and me. Douglas did an excellent job of articulating the technical aspects of tennis playing. He ensures you are well warmed up before the lesson and always helps to identify and solve any physical issues or challenges. What is most remarkable is that Douglas has a passion and deep love for tennis that reflects in his coaching. He always set up small competitions or challenges between my partner and me to communicate the game's enjoyment. It is enjoyable to learn from and play tennis with Douglas.

I hadn't played tennis in 20 years and Douglas had tremendous patience with me! His drills were challenging but helpful; he's very observant, which helps his training be very specific to you. Thank you for reigniting my love for tennis! Can't wait to continue this game!

Great Trainer. Very nice and help me to improve a lot. Definitely recommend.

Douglas is a great coach. My tennis game has improved drastically just in few sessions. He also has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Douglas.

Punctual, knowledgeable, and professional. He gives custom and effective insights to quickly improve your game while being supportive and inspiring. Highly recommend.

Excellent coach! Knowledgeable, friendly and has a good sense of humor. My tennis game has definitely improved!

Douglas is an amazing coach! Extremely patient and with a wealth of knowledge. He keeps the lessons fun and active while always focusing on improving technique. I look forward to and enjoy each of our sessions!

I was a relative beginner when is started lessons with Douglas. We worked on my forehand, which now has a nice arc and topspin. My backhand went from being weak and inconsistent to a shot that I feel confident hitting. I had a great time with Douglas and would recommend him.

Great experience, looking forward to future lessons and vast improvement in my game.

I can't recommend Douglas enough. He is professional, knowledgeable, skilled, and importantly really understands how to utilize all of this to be an effective instructor. As a rec player beginning to take the game more seriously, I can confidently say Douglas helped improve all areas of my game and probably advanced my game to a degree that would have taken me years on my own.

Well experienced coach. I found him to be friendly and patient as I am a beginner/intermediate level. He made a few adjustments to my technique and I am now enjoying playing tennis much more!

Great coach! Has a lot of technical knowledge and is very personable. I would recommend him for any skill level.

Excellent and patient. 100% recommend Coach Douglas.

Not having played in 25 years I was basically starting from scratch. After 4-5 lesson I actually have an idea of what's going on with the techniques and Doug has been great about facilitating quick learning and making it easy to grasp as well as providing positive feedback. I would recommend this coach.

Doug has been the best coach! He is patient & knows the game of tennis inside and out. Would highly recommend!

Doug was the best instructor I could've asked for. He is kind, patient and is ready to make you a better overall player. Not only did my hitting game improve but Doug showed me a more strategic/mental approach to the game that I never thought of. My whole game improved after my six lessons with Doug including my backhand, volley, and especially my service game! I felt very comfortable with Doug which is so important as you're trying to learn. I'd recommend Doug to anyone, any day! He helped me achieve the growth I was looking for in my game.

Douglas is a wonderful instructor, excellent tips that change your strokes and make it easy to learn. I highly recommend him as your instructor!

Douglas is an excellent instructor. He knows a lot about the sport, is very patient and looks to understand how best you learn so he can be a more effective teacher.

I really enjoyed taking classes with Douglas. He was very patient in correcting me and teaching me the techniques in different and creative ways. I would highly recommend him.

Excellent coach! Very smart and funny coach. Very knowledgeable with details that other coaches were not able to teach me.

My 5-year old son had a great experience with Douglas. He was very friendly and taught very well, and trained my son on hand-eye coordination and steps essential for tennis. We'd repeat lessons with Douglas when we are back in Miami. Highly recommend!

Excellent

Excellent instructor. Very knowledgeable and patient. I could feel the improvement in my game after we had worked together. My game has gone to a new level!

Douglas is a very good teacher

Douglas have all the abilities and skills to teach to an adult like me who started to play tennis to late in life, I"m amazed how I progressed this winter ! On top of it he's a real gentlemen!

Half way through my first package and already see a significant improvement. My tennis is more consistent and I am having fun. Douglas observes my playing and allows me to self correct. When unable to resolve my issues he finds easy ways to explain corrections that invariably resolve the problem. He is extremely knowledgable and confident on the court. I am encouraged by my progress.

Douglas is a fantastic coach. I highly recommend him.

Very professional and knowledgeable.

Great coach! He's polite, patient and a great coach. My son has already had a few lessons with him and for sure he's the best tennis coach my son has ever had!

Douglas is an excelent coach ! He is very patient and teaches the most modern techniques! He never gives up even when I am doing everything wrong!

My daughter Marjorie had never even touched a tennis racquet, and she has been loving tennis from the very first minute she started her tennis lessons with Douglas.
He is polite, very focused, and explains the goals of each exercise and all steps during the tennis lessons very well. Both my daughter and I are very happy with Douglas

My son really liked his first lesson with Douglas. He really clicked with Doug which was really nice. He loved his lessons.

I never played tennis before and have taken lessons from Doug for almost a year. He has been great at building my game. He comes to each lesson with new ideas and continually improves my technique. He has never cancelled a lesson and is always on time.

The training methods of Douglas always point something out that would improve the status quo and not overload you to focus on too many things at the same time. After not playing for a long time, he has helped on improving my game tremendously hence making playing tennis more enjoyable again. Great coach.

Great instructor. Teaches the techniques, drills and at the end when playing you realize without effort you are already applying all the things learned in the game in no time!

He is very professional and provides excellent insight into the sport, as well as having made key technical corrections that advanced my game. His lessons are a good workout as well as fun!

I can say that he is very professional, he has taught me things which no other tennis coach has told me before (technics) and he is quite reachable and friendly.

The lessons were ideal, Doug is a very nice gentleman, Doug quickly pointed out some simple adjustments which once I forget my bad habits will bring on some noticeable improvements. Doug suggested some minor technical changes which allowed me to hit cleaner crisper strokes, the improvement was noticeable by lesson three. Doug helped me with shot selection, court positioning and game strategy. Each lesson was a good workout, helped compensate for the Miami nightlife.
