Racqueteering

Racqueteering is tennis: coaching, playing, stringing and community. I started stringing racquets when I needed to support my own tennis habit.  When I moved to Bear Valley Springs I went public as a service to my friends. When I saw Tehachapi needed a tennis program I started one.

Five years ago I started coaching. In 2008 I organized a summer tennis program with Motti-Vational Tennis to be taught here in Tehachapi. I worked with Motti Yoshpe that entire summer, teaching tennis to students of all ages. Since then I have continued to provide summer clinics and teach private lessons.

I am certified as a coach with USPTA and a stringer with USRSA. Recently I also learned court resurfacing. So I can proudly say, with the exception of pouring a post-tensioned concrete slab, I am a full service tennis professional.

Summer Tennis Programs

The summer tennis programs are taught according to age and skill levels. I teach kids 4-8 using USPTA's Little-Tennis. Little Tennis uses small courts and foam balls. After some basic skills get installed the player is then ready to play some simplified tennis. Little Tennis is the same as QuickStart Tennis, its just different names used by USPTA vs USTA.

If you want to play tennis in high school next year, then you need to start training now as there is no time to fix your game during the tennis season. I can give you technique and confidence, you need to supply the effort. Give me 40 minutes and I will make you a better player... and I'll do that once for free.

If you need tournament training then call my friend Motti Yoshpe. Motti started tennis as a child in Russia, and continued his tennis career in Israel where he played as a professional on the ATP and in Davis Cup. I guarantee Motti will get you to the next level. Motti teaches in Rosamond and Lancaster and can be reached at 866-34-MOTTI (866-346-6884). 

Network Tennis Club

 

I am trying to build a tennis community in Tehachapi by being at the HS courts each Saturday morning (except winter). More information here

 

Racquet Service

 

When you need to restring your racquet (handball or tennis) call me. I can do it in the evenings while you wait or provide overnight turn around. Absolutely the best service around because I am the only certified Master Racquet Technician. For my students and THS team members I discount my labor and only charge materials. I do racquet modifications, grips, weighting and matching.
