I have had many sports coaches throughout my lifetime, but very few, if any, have matched Hugo in…read morehis professionalism, commitment, and dedication to his students. As a complete beginner to the game, I have been extremely impressed by Hugo's patience, temperament, and clarity over the last year in which we've worked together. Hugo puts tremendous care into his coaching; every minute in the lesson is spent intentionally and built upon things learned from the prior lessons. I have complete trust that Hugo will challenge me in every lesson and get me to improve week after week; all I have to do is show up. Hugo is particularly adept at explaining technique, making sure that even a beginner such as myself is learning with the correct form from the get-go. I have strongly recommended Hugo to all of my friends who are in search of a tennis instructor in the Palo Alto area. My search is certainly over. Anyone would be lucky to have Hugo as an instructor!

I started working with Hugo as a complete tennis beginner without any prior experience. Despite…read morethis, Hugo's patient and encouraging approach has helped me make great strides in just a few short months. Hugo breaks down complicated techniques into easy-to-grasp concepts during our lessons. His step-by-step approach allows me to learn at my own pace without feeling overwhelmed or like I'm getting lectured. Hugo has an uncanny way of remembering exactly where we left off at the end of each lesson. When we start the next session, he knows just how to help me build on what I've already learned. Thanks to Hugo, I can now hold my own when playing friendly games. My tennis journey is just starting, and I couldn't have a better coach helping me improve. I would highly recommend Hugo to anyone wanting to level up their tennis game.

I honestly couldn't imagine how anyone could teach a 2.5-year-old the fundamentals of tennis, but Coach Watson is incredibly patient and great with all the kids. I love how every single lesson incorporates key fundamentals like backhands, forehands, rallying, and volleying in a way that toddlers can actually grasp. Highly recommend this program and Coach Watson!

Staff is all very accommodating and non-intrusive but when you need something it will be taken care of immediately.

I needed my rackets restrung and the nearest tennis shop to my house wasn't open yet. Since I had…read morea dentist appointment nearby, I called The Woodside Tennis Shop to inquire if they had the strings that I wanted and they indeed had it. I dropped off two rackets and explained to Mark, the new owner, that my racket hadn't been restrung in a year and my backup racket hadn't been restrung since 2023. I'm a flat ball hitter, so I don't normally break strings, but I needed more control. He was very nice and measured the tension of my backup racket and informed me that it was surprisingly still good to play with and didn't need to be restrung. Since it had been over 3 years, I told him to restring both of them anyway. Before I left, I asked how long it would take and Mark told me it would be 2 business days. The very next day, I get a text from Mark telling me that my rackets were ready for pickup! Unfortunately, they were closing at 3:45pm so I couldn't pick them up in time since I was at work. Mark was so kind and offered to deliver them to my house or work. I told him where I worked and he said he lived nearby so it wouldn't be a problem to drop them off. I was so impressed! He even showed up almost 30 min before the time he initially told me! He texted me the cost of the stringing, but also said that I could pay him via Zelle after he dropped off my rackets. Overall, the price of the stringing was probably slightly higher than other tennis shops that I've been to, but the service alone was outstanding!!! I'd definitely go back again despite it not being that close to where I live.

Played a men's USTA league match the other day right at Foothills Tennis & Swimming Club. Arrived 45 minutes before the 11am match. Huge parking lot, surrounded by 10 foot hedge of trees blocking out any view of busy Foothill expressway. 7 lighted tennis courts, with benches and giant drinking jugs, with paper cups. Hopefully replenished daily! Nearby, a 75 foot swimming pool, suitable for lap swimming and swim contests. Beautiful clubhouse with plush sitting chairs for enjoying that drink after a hard fought tennis match. Went to the bathroom, opened the door, and a row of gleaming stalls over a spotless baby blue floor surface. Thought I had entered the ladies bathroom, and quickly hurried out, checking the sign on the door. No lady screaming, so I guess this is the right place. Exercise room and locker room for changing and taking showers. Very elaborate tiled shower room more suitable for a mansion. Tennis courts are blue and super fast. Built correctly facing north and south, but with no partitions between the courts. A ball could roll over three contiguous courts. Separate benches for each doubles team to sit on. At least one player is 80, and still has wheels for moving on that court. Another player makes me look thin, and I'm on the obese side! But he gets everything back that he can reach, and anticipates every shot you make. 90 minutes later, sweat running down my eyes, partially closed with stinging sun lotion from rubbing my hands over my forehead, I trudge off the court, and enjoy refreshments of Costco sandwiches and soda and beer with the locals. If you want the fancier food you got to play on a mixed doubles team with a woman captain! Was about to take a shower in the men's room, but there's a note that only members may shower. Got to trudge back to the oven like temperatures in the car, on this 82 degree March day, and stew in my own BO. There goes the new car smell in my 2017 Civic! $800 a quarter in maintenance fees. About on par with the other private tennis clubs in exclusive Palo Alto, where the median house price exceeds $3 million. But best high schools academically in California. If you have a spouse and 3 kids who swim and play tennis , you can get what you pay for.
