Junior Tennis Lessons and Drills


Private Lessons

If your child is just getting started, a private lesson or two is good to introduce them to the basic fundamentals of the tennis game. The goal is to make sure they get the proper hand-eye coordination and court awareness skills to successfully compete against other kids.

If your child is an advanced tennis player who is either already involved or has aspirations to compete at the tournament level or to challenge for a spot on their high school team, then a weekly private lesson becomes necessary need for their development.


Junior Drills

When it comes to a fun first experience with tennis, it is important that your child is part of a group with other kids of similar level of play. Radu takes great care in assessing every child's ability to play and assigning them to the right group that will provide the most exciting and fun tennis experience.

Group junior tennis drills are a fun way to introduce beginner children to the game of tennis in a safe environment together with other kids their age. While tennis is an individual sport, it is best learned in a group setting. Getting your child involved in a group drill is a great way for them to meet kids their age who share the same interest in tennis.

The benefits that your child will derive from playing tennis are numerous. On a mental and emotional level, your child will have to learn how to be focused which will transcend into other areas of their life. On the court, your child will learn to think several steps ahead, adapt quickly to changes, anticipate their opponent, and implement winning strategies - all valuable skills to get them ready to compete in other sports. Your child will also learn to be a humble winner and most importantly he will learn what it feels like to get better at a very challenging yet fascinating sport.

Radu's overall approach to teaching juniors is to introduce sound fundamentals of tennis technique in a game based setting allowing your children to learn advanced tennis techniques while fully immersed in competition.

High Performance

If your child is engaged in junior tournaments and in weekly organized drill sessions yet you as a parent are still looking to supplement your child's preparation in order to give them a chance to attain their potential as a tennis player, then you might consider a weekly private lesson with Radu.

Radu's methodology of teaching is based on well defined skills that your child is expected to master, understand and internalize to the point where they become muscle memory. The staple of Radu's teaching is helping your child develop a big forehand and then build the rest of his or her game around it.

My Obligation

I dedicated my life to helping kids become better tennis players and instinctively I've always known that each little player has the potential to become a great one. I have an unshakeable belief that working hard at tennis can have a transformational influence in other areas of one's life. That's why I see it as my obligation to expect the most out of kids because one can never tell the kind of formative impact a series of tennis lessons can have on a child.

My Commitment

I am convinced that every child has an untapped reservoir of passion and commitment that fuels their drive to succeed. My wish is to give kids the clarity and imagination to trust that they can achieve difficult tasks - such as the always daunting 'catching the racket over the shoulder while rolling their back foot' instruction. Then guide them thru the emotional difficulties of dealing with constant failure that tennis so generously confronts every player with. Finally, I make sure that kids are not too easily convinced that they lack the capacity to overcome the seemingly over demanding proper technique requests on my part and challenge them to find the valor, the vision and the conviction to stand up to whatever obstacles they may face.
