Testimonials

Coach Roosevelt has been instrumental in my daughter Deja’s development as a junior tennis player.  His impact on her has been immediate and it has sustained.  Thru his instruction, Deja has learned the proper technique to produce top spin and reduce injury, she has learned point construction and how to initiate  attack strategies from the serve and the return of serve.  We are incredibly fortunate he is her Coach.

So in every sense of the word “progress”, Roosevelt changed my sons game. My son was originally with another coach. I thought my sons game was elevating, but realistically he had plateaued. I left for 6 months with the military, in which my mother had introduced my son to Roosevelt. I returned to a different player. Roosevelt not only improved my sons game, but also taught him the fundamentals. Tennis is a game in which you can get caught up in just hitting the ball, Roosevelt taught my son the when, where and why we are hitting the ball. Roosevelt is a coach that wants your child to be great competitively, which a lot of coaches don’t seem to be after. He wants your child to reach their full potential. You are getting your monies worth, I assure you.
