I have always had positive experiences at Memphis Sports Academy during the many years I have been going. It is a tennis center that offers private lessons, group clinics, and/or rented court time for anyone from beginners to high-level competitive players. The teaching pros, Omar and Walid, are friendly and professional and most importantly they are excellent coaches, having many decades of experience between them. They will provide the beginner/casual player with a solid fundamental base, but they just as effectively coach advanced players (their resumes include many very successful players, including professionals.) The atmosphere is very laid-back despite the high level of expertise and is free of the snobbiness one encounters in most tennis academies around the city.
The building, adjacent to an indoor soccer facility, houses several courts and also includes a weight room with both machines and free weights. They also charge no membership fees, a rarity in the tennis world, and are very reasonably priced, especially compared to other tennis centers in the area. It is located at the southern edge of the Central Gardens neighborhood in Midtown.
All in all, the Memphis Sports Academy is an excellent choice for any level of tennis player wanting top-notch instruction without the financial commitment or stuffiness of most other such facilities. read more
