My 6 year old attended a HelloTennis Holiday Clinic and had so much fun that we immediately signed him up for a term. Russ is such a wonderful coach. He is so approachable, welcoming, and encouraging that my incredibly shy son found courage and confidence he never knew he had! This is balanced perfectly with his calm authority and ability to easily and quickly control any trouble-making. He communicates clearly and effectively during his well-structured programs. Every minute of every session is strategically planned and coordinated with his friendly assistant coaches. The huge variety of well-paced activities are fun and engaging as well as being designed to build tennis skills and knowledge. All the parents agree, tennis with Russ is a great activity for the kids! We look forward to another term!
