About Peter
Hi, my name is Peter. I was born in Russia and got to United States in 1975 at the age of sixteen. I never played tennis In Russia because at that time there was any tennis courts close by. My first part time job was at Flamingo Park Tennis Center which was once home to the Jr. Orange Bowl. That is where I picked up a tennis racquet for the first time and fell in love with this incredible sport. I worked with different coaches 10 to 15 minutes at the time, when they had time or when I had a break from work. In 1976, I made a Miami Beach Senior High School Boys Varsity Tennis where I played for two seasons as #2, single and #1 double player. I played competitive tennis at NTPR Level 4.5 for several years. I have been a Recreational Tennis Coach for almost 7 years and running my own Summer Tennis program In Pocono, PA. I have worked at tennis clubs and camps for past 3 years. I am a Professional coach for students ages 6 -17. I am a Certified Professional USPTA – Professional 2, APC and Certified PTR Jr. Development Instructor. I want to share my passion and develop the skills for tennis students who love the game as I do
Teaching Experience: 7 years

I will go over forehand grip & backhand grip if you are the beginner or adjust your grip to improve your strokes while working on consistency and placement of the ball. Proper stance and footwork hitting forehand and backhand during live ball drills followed by fun practice game to instantly use your new skills. Introduction or go over forehand and backhand volleys, proper movement, positioning and footwork.
Main focus is on control so that students can quickly move to rallying with a friend and having more fun with tennis.
