More About Coach Daryl
My experience coaching tennis includes working with the U.S. National Special Olympic Team here in San Diego in 2011.
I have been coach for the last four years for the Mt. Carmel girls and boys Junior Varsity team. I also worked with the boys varsity team.
I have also given private lessons over the years, primarily to kids, but also beginning and intermediate adults.
I competed for the Palomar College Varsity tennis team, playing both singles and doubles. Competitive play, league play. Placed 1st in several league play tournaments.
I believe in being flexible because students arrive with varying degrees of playing experience and abilities. I don't immediately try to change their style, swing or grip, but rather observe and talk with them about their motivation, goals and generally what they would like to achieve.
After that I try to instill the things I believe are most important: footwork, calm demeanor, confidence and shifting your weight into the shot. A typical workout would include drills and playing some points but it still depends on where the students are at that point, ability-wise.

Coach Daryl was very professional, he got there on time and with great attitude. He fixed my serve in 10 minutes. He was so detailed explaining to me every step of a good serve. He used other sports and professional athletes comparison examples that made me understand quickly. He is very knowledgable, he knows what he is talking about.

My husband and I started taking beginners tennis lessons with Daryl last month. Under his guidance, we quickly picked up the game. Daryl is a patient teacher. He keeps his lessons interesting by varying the exercises. We strongly recommend Daryl to the beginners of all ages.
