Dr. Scott Felluss, Ph.D. - Tennis Professional

I’m a former Division I athlete at Brown University, Ivy League Champion, and USTA-trained tennis professional with extensive experience building and coaching tennis programs across the Bay Area. I hold one of the few city-issued coaching contracts for San Francisco’s public courts and have coached more than 1,000 students, from first-time players and young beginners to competitive juniors and advanced players. I’ve built tennis programs from the ground up for the cities of Berkeley and San Francisco, as well as St. Joseph Notre Dame Academy in Alameda, California. My approach is built around clear goals, structured progression, and individualized coaching. I don’t use a generic template: I pay attention to how you actually move, learn, compete, and respond under pressure, then build training around what will produce meaningful improvement. I also bring a PhD in Performance Studies, graduating summa cum laude. My academic work focuses on how people learn, move, perform, and compete under pressure, and that perspective directly informs my coaching. For players who want more than technical instruction, we can work on movement efficiency, athletic development, point construction, decision-making, and the ability to perform when the pressure increases. Whether you're picking up a racquet for the first time, developing a junior player, returning to tennis, or trying to compete at a higher level, every lesson is designed around your specific needs and goals. Personalized coaching. Honest feedback. Structured progression. A coach invested in your long-term development. Sliding scale available. Major credit cards accepted. Payment plans available to support consistent week-to-week training. Serving clients throughout the Bay Area.
