Taylor's Elite Tennis Training

Welcome! I'm Taylor LeFridge, and my life's passion is helping players discover the joy, confidence, and incredible potential within themselves through tennis. My own journey, from an accomplished junior to a D1 competitor at UC Irvine and now a coach for over 8 years (with 19+ years total on court!), has taught me that greatness blossoms where expert guidance meets genuine belief. For nearly a decade, I've proudly run my own elite junior development groups, witnessing firsthand the transformative power of dedicated coaching. What truly inspires me? Seeing players thrive in every sense. Building Champions On & Off Court: I specialize in developing the complete player. Beyond advanced technique and strategy (honed coaching national juniors, ITF competitors, and multiple future D1 athletes), I integrate crucial on-court fitness and proven sports psychology to build resilience, focus, and that winning mindset. Guiding Futures: I uniquely love helping driven student-athletes navigate the exciting college recruiting process, finding the perfect fit where their tennis dreams and academic goals flourish together. Joy for All Ages: From sparking a love for the game in children (like those I taught at the prestigious Miami Open and through my role with Cliff Drysdale Tennis, my Elite groups In the Southern California section where im from) to refining the skills of competitive adults, I believe every player deserves inspiring coaching. World-Class Experience, Personal Touch: Directing Naomi Osaka's Play Academy, LA and coaching at top venues taught me elite standards, but my heart lies in the personal connection and growth I foster with each student. New to the area, I'm thrilled to bring my energy and expertise to the community. I'm not just a coach; I'm eager to become a supportive part of this community, helping players of all ages and aspirations unlock their potential, build confidence, and fall in love with the game.
