What they are saying...

"Hema was one of my first tennis instructors at IRC Dean in Tennis 101. Her enthusiasm for the sport and patience has fostered a passion in me to continue playing and improving. She encouraged new friendships within the group and introduced us to CIWITL and USTA competition opportunities. Whether it's clinics, or lessons she is very relatable and her teaching style is fun while you learn stroke techniques and game strategies and put them into practice. She also promotes growth through her mixed doubles matches on Sunday evenings. Hema is a valuable asset to IRC and the sport of tennis. Hema is AWESOME!!!"
