About Me
Hi everyone, I'm Sonny, your local tennis coach here in Arlington. With over 20 years of coaching and more than 30 years on the court, my passion for tennis is clear in every lesson! I'm a local PTR (Professional Tennis Registry) Certified Tennis Professional, dedicated to helping my students truly enjoy and improve their game.
My tennis journey includes training at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy during my youth and years of competitive play. Off the court, I'm also a professional with a Master's degree in Public Health. I believe strongly in promoting health and wellness through tennis, and you'll find I'm always supportive and prioritize your best interests.
I teach both kids and adults, with a particular focus on "after-work" professionals who want to enhance their skills. Whether you're a true beginner or playing at a USTA 4.5 level, I can help you reach your goals. I have plenty of references from satisfied students available upon request.
Teaching Style
Lessons can be general or focus on specific strokes. We'll thoroughly cover the forehand, backhand, serve, volleys, and footwork in our first few sessions, paying close attention to mechanics – that's key to improvement. Depending on your interest and skill level, we can also work on match play, strategy, and fitness. Lessons are always tailored to you, progressing at a comfortable pace, and designed to be fun and engaging.

Sonny has been an excellent coach to my 12-year old son. Sonny understands and focuses on key weaknesses while making the practice a lot of fun at the same time. The marked improvement in matchplay and tournaments is proof of Sonny's coaching.
Ive been working with Sonny for the past 3 years. He is simply a great coach! He is very knowledgeable, focused, and easy to work with. Gives clear feedback and really helps you improve. Highly recommend!
