Dr. Scott Felluss - Head Tennis Professional

As a former Division 1 athlete and team captain at Brown and Fordham Universities, I bring a wealth of experience, passion, and strategic insight to tennis coaching at Scott Felluss Tennis Academy. Specializing in instruction across all levels—from first-time players to future professionals—I create a disciplined yet inspiring training environment rooted in both rigorous academic research and proven on-court methodologies. I am one of the select few coaches officially authorized to teach on San Francisco’s public courts—a privilege granted only through a stringent city approval process. Most independent coaches are not permitted to operate legally on these courts, making this credential a hallmark of my professionalism, accountability, and standing within the tennis community. In addition, I have received training from the United States Tennis Association (USTA), further ensuring that my methods reflect the highest standards of national excellence. As an Ivy League Champion and Atlantic 10 Division 1 Coach, I have developed a transparent, systematically structured approach that cultivates not just technical excellence but also creativity, imagination, and tactical sophistication. Every program I offer is personalized, with clear goal-setting, open communication, and regular performance evaluations—ensuring each player feels truly valued and steadily progresses. I hold a Doctorate in Theater and Performance Studies from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and a Master's Degree in English from Northeastern. My education sharpens my coaching philosophy, enabling me to train serious competitors, creatively, who balance intensity with adaptability. Whether you’re stepping onto the court for the first time or aiming for ATP/WTA tournament pathways, my mission is to guide your growth with integrity, intelligence, and inspired ambition. Your tennis journey deserves structure, strategy, and mentorship of the highest caliber. At Scott Felluss Tennis Academy, I offer a rare blend of elite expertise, USTA-instruction, and legally sanctioned access to San Francisco’s public courts—ensuring a professional, lawful, and transformational coaching experience.
