Staff
Meet the staff.
PlayTennisLV blends strong local leadership with developmental coaching built for long-term junior growth in the Lehigh Valley.
What families can expect: clear communication, purposeful training, and a warm environment where players are known and supported.
We do not use the label high-performance coach. At PlayTennisLV, every coach is a developmental coach grounded in long-term growth.
