Book Private Tennis Lessons with Coach Lisa

My name is Coach Lisa. I am a PTR Certified Tennis Coach. I am passionate about helping players of all ages and skill levels develop strong fundamentals, confidence, and a lifelong love for the game. With experience coaching high school teams, group programs, and private lessons, I bring a structured, positive, and encouraging approach to every session.

I currently serve as the Head Coach for the Linkhorne Boys and Girls Tennis Team and Assistant Coach for the Liberty Christian Academy Boys Tennis Team.

My coaching philosophy focuses on teaching tennis the right way—from proper stroke mechanics and footwork to strategy, sportsmanship, and mental resilience. By creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, I help players build confidence, improve their performance, and enjoy the game while reaching their full potential.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies with a focus on Early Childhood Education, which strengthens my ability to teach players of all ages with patience, clarity, and effective communication.

I help students improve their tennis game by focusing on strong fundamentals, proper technique, and smart match strategy while creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. Each lesson is tailored to the player’s age, skill level, and personal goals. I break down strokes such as the forehand, backhand, serve, and volleys into clear, manageable progressions so players can build confidence and consistency. In addition to technical skills, I incorporate footwork, court positioning, and decision-making through drills and live-ball situations that simulate real match play. My goal is to help players not only develop solid skills but also gain confidence, improve their competitive mindset, and truly enjoy the game of tennis.

A typical training session with me begins with a dynamic warm-up and stretching routine to prepare the body and reduce the risk of injury. From there, we focus on developing strong fundamentals through targeted drills that work on stroke mechanics such as forehand, backhand, serve, volleys, and footwork. I break skills down step-by-step and provide demonstrations, observation, and individualized feedback to help players make meaningful improvements.

As the session progresses, we incorporate live ball drills and point-play situations to apply those skills in realistic match scenarios. This helps players develop court awareness, shot selection, and strategic decision-making. I also focus on building confidence, consistency, and mental resilience throughout the lesson.

Each session is tailored to the player’s age, skill level, and goals, ensuring that training is both challenging and encouraging while helping players steadily improve and enjoy the game. I also finish every session with an enjoyable game that reinforces and utilizes the skills that were taught during the lesson.

With experience coaching high school teams, community programs, and private lessons, I specialize in teaching strong fundamentals, proper technique, and match strategy in a positive and encouraging environment. My coaching style combines structured skill development with confidence building and sportsmanship, helping players grow both technically and mentally while developing a lifelong love for the game.

The coach who had the greatest impact on developing my game was Dr. Louie Cap. He approached coaching with a meticulous attention to detail, breaking down each tennis shot into smaller, manageable components to make the learning process clear and effective. Through focused ball-feeding drills and step-by-step instruction, he taught me to execute the slice serve and topspin serve with both accuracy and pace. Dr. Cap emphasized correcting common mistakes and breaking bad habits through structured errors-and-correction workshops, helping me refine proper technique across all my strokes. He consistently provided innovative private and group lesson ideas and ample opportunities to practice and apply new skills. Beyond technical instruction, he was encouraging, observant, and highly organized—always punctual and prepared for every session. He even recorded my shots, showing me by example how to improve, which fostered a deeper understanding of my game and significantly accelerated my growth as a player.

I love working with kids and have a true passion for teaching tennis while watching players grow and develop their skills. My approach focuses on building strong fundamentals, improving technique, and developing strategic thinking, all in a positive and encouraging environment. I tailor lessons to each player’s age, ability, and goals, ensuring every session is both challenging and enjoyable. I believe in celebrating progress, reinforcing confidence, and helping players not only improve their game but also develop sportsmanship, focus, and a lifelong love for tennis. Above all, I am patient, attentive, and committed to helping every player reach their full potential while having fun on the court.
