More about Ali :
“Learning an entirely new sport as an adult is a bit intimidating. Ali has helped make the process so much fun. She combines genuine encouragement, intuitive feedback and humor in a way that makes my 90 minutes of tennis one of my favorite parts of the week. Under her guidance, I feel confident in the skills we’ve practiced but more importantly in my capacity to continue to improve. Thanks, Ali!”
