I’m Julia, a 27-year-old tennis coach based in Southington, CT. Up until recently I had been coaching out of Dallas, Tx. I’ve been passionate about the game since I started playing club tennis at age six and continued competing through high school and college, where I played Division 2 tennis. My coaching approach emphasizes breaking down a player’s game to enhance fundamentals, strategy, and consistency, while also exploring the reasons behind our techniques. With experience coaching at country clubs and having learned from a variety of coaches myself, I’m excited to build relationships and share my insights with players of all ages.

"I was a complete beginner when I first met Elijah 3 months ago. Very quickly he was able to assist me with getting the right equipment and oriented me with ease. Coach Elijah breaks down all the components of the game and is patient yet firm in his approach. He also has great supplemental equipment to fast-track training ground strokes, footwork, etc. He helped me develop a one-handed backhand that actually has “fire power” and I feel much more confident going to the tennis court.
