SCHEDULE A LESSON

What they are saying...

"There are many reasons why I have stayed with Debbie’s clinics for 14 years, not the least of which is her patience and ability to break down her instruction into manageable parts. We often focus on one particular skill to work on. She is a tireless teacher with a great attitude, and never gets impatient with us. We laugh at our mistakes and have a great time with her endlessly creative drills. I would recommend lessons or clinics with Debbie to players of all skill levels."

More about Debbie :

“Debbie’s Cardio class is high energy – get a great workout – fun music, positive energy I played with Debbie before I moved abroad to England for two years and could not wait to get back to her when I returned to Indy.” – Tracy Oxtoby | 3.5 Adult Player

“I’ve been in Debbie’s clinics for over 10 years and she is a great tennis instructor. Not only has she helped me technically with my game, but she is also kind and makes her clinics very enjoyable. Debbie regularly reminds us about court positioning, net play and proper form on our strokes. I would highly recommend Debbie as an instructor.” – Kristel Novotny | 3.0 – 3.5 Adult Player

“Debbie is incredibly positive, energetic, and motivating. Her classes are fun, challenging, and my favorite workout. She’s helped me improve my game and even makes me excited to wake up for cardio tennis at 6:30 a.m.—which says everything! I can’t recommend her enough.” – Andrea Turner | 3.0 Adult Player
