About
For Beginner Kids (Ages 6–15)
Learning tennis should be fun, not frustrating! At DStroke Tennis, I specialize in helping kids who feel unsure or have struggled with lessons before. My approach builds confidence through the D3C technique: paying attention to the ball, positioning the racket, and creating the bounce you want to see. Most of my young players are rallying and enjoying real games in just a few weeks.
For Beginner Adults
It is never too late to enjoy tennis. At DStroke Tennis, I help adults who want to play socially and feel more confident on the court. Using the D3C technique, we focus on three key elements: seeing the real ball, positioning the racket, and creating the bounce you expect to see. Most students are enjoying real rallies within just a few hours.
Intermediate Players (All Ages)
Many players feel stuck after lessons that left them with more questions than answers. At DStroke Tennis, I help you untangle confusion and rebuild confidence. I use the D3C technique to help you identify and repair technical misunderstandings so you can play with clarity.

There aren't enough stars in the galaxy to put on this review! My experience has be nothing but perfect. My instructor is always on time, very communicative via text if anything were to change, he provides incredible instruction, and tailors each class to my individual needs.
I'm halfway through my 12 hour class package with him and have already received many compliments on my progress and play style from friends I play with who have years more experience than I do.
I could not recommend working with D`Stroke Tennis more and am SO excited to continue training with him!

Great experience. Very knowledgeable and provides great insights and approaches. Teaching style is smooth and steady. Lots of patience with students and really seems to have a great talent for explaining mechanics to players. My son is looking forward to our next lesson.

My experience was gray with Mr.Darnell. He was very patient and helped me with some minor stuff that I needed to fix to better my tennis game.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
1 hour: $75
4 hours: $277
10 hours: $627
This covers all of my costs of driving to a location near you, balls and time.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically with someone you I will get in communication with them. I want to know what it is that they already know. once that is established, we build a simple program around their skill set that will move them toward the skill set they visualize themselves having. that is to say, we find out what's their ideal scene for their game and move that direction.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a student of tennis for more than 25 years. When I say "tennis" I don't mean "trivia". I mean the game, mechanics, tactics, conditioning and simplicity. I have attended conferences, I read about it, I study players and I study coaches. I know that learning is not restricted to just what a person picks up on a tennis court, but a life skill. I teach to that life skill. My greatest Pride is teaching 'ability'. that is to say making a person realize that they have ability!
