About
I’m Coach Adriana, a PTR-certified tennis professional with over 25 years of coaching experience. I work with players of all ages and skill levels, from first-time beginners to advanced competitors, focusing on technique, footwork, strategy, and the mental side of the game.
I’ve coached at leading academies and clubs, and serve as Head Coach at First Serve Tennis Academy. Over the years, I’ve helped juniors win local tournaments and earn spots on their high school varsity teams across the metro area.
I offer fun, structured private, semi-private, and group lessons, as well as hitting-only sessions. Whether you want to sharpen a specific stroke or build an all-court game, you’ll train in a positive, safe, and player-centered environment.
Reach out today and let’s take your tennis to the next level.
Thank you, Adriana 🎾

I really enjoyed my tennis lesson with Adriana. She is very patient and encouraging, and she explains everything clearly. She helped me correct my technique and made the lesson fun and comfortable. I’m happy to continue learning with her and would definitely recommend her!

I had a FANTASTIC class with Adriana! I had never touched a tennis racket before, and she was able to guide me and teach me the very basics, and also be patient while I was learning and stumbling. She is smart, kind, and a great teacher. I booked my second class right after I finished my first one. Highly recommended

Adriana is one of the best tennis teachers I’ve had because she knows the game inside out, but more importantly because she works on the incremental adjustments you need to make to really improve your game. This is extremely helpful and you see immediate improvement.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The customers should know that the private lessons and group lessons are tailord towards their goal. There's a discount price if you purchase 10 hr as private lessons.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A typical process for working with a new student, is as a first lesson is an assesment which means going through technical, tactical, as well as mental. I will asses the players technical motion, how well the player is handling points under pressure from a mental point of view, as well as how well the player is building the points for hitting winners from a tactical point of view.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I do have a B.S. Sports Science with specialization in Tennis Trainer and P.E Teacher as well as staying up to date in terms of tennis , by attending the PTR International Symposium and connecting with former top players . Beeing an former Certified International Coach by GPTCA , I do attend their Workshops around the world and connecting with former great players such as Claudio Pistolesi and Alberto Castelani as they are ATP Board Members together with Toni Nadal.
