More about Jason :
“As a beginner to tennis Jason has helped me improve so much. He is so kind and his clinics are so much fun. I always leave Jason’s lessons with new strategies to improve plus feeling so much better about myself and my tennis game. He has a wonderful community of clinics that are open to new players and has made me love tennis even more.” – Carla Crouse | 2.0 – 2.5 Adult Player
“I’ve worked with many coaches over the years, and Jason consistently stands out. Every clinic adds something new to my game, and his fast-paced, fun drills keep me moving and challenged. I trust his coaching and take what I learn straight into my matches—the skills I have learned from him helped me and my team finish 3rd at the 9.0 mixed doubles nationals in 2023. I always leave his clinics feeling accomplished and sweaty!” – Kristi Shuck | 4.5 Adult Player
“Jason is a great tennis coach at IRC. I started working with Jason when i moved to Indianapolis 5 years ago and have been with him ever since. He has made me a better tennis player not only in technique but doubles tennis IQ. He takes the time to understand what approach works to motivate each player to be better at their game and is always challenging me in clinics and drills.” – Belinda Strobel | 3.5 – 4.0 Adult Player
