Sonny Sarma

I have been teaching tennis for over 20 years, and you will notice that I love what I’m doing by my energy on the tennis court. I am a Certified Tennis Professional with PTR (Professional Tennis Registry) and I have played for over 30 years.

I attended the Nick Bolletieri Tennis Academy during my youth and played competitively for many years, including Club at the University of Virginia. In addition, I am also a working professional with a Master’s degree in Public Health. I consider myself an advocate of health and wellness through tennis so you will notice that I am very supportive and look out for the best interests of all of my students first. I am teaching both kids & adults and really cater to anyone who enjoys tennis and is interested in playing better. I can teach anyone from a true beginner to the USTA 4.5 level. I have tons of references from students if you need them!

Lessons can be general or focus on specific strokes. During the first few sessions, we will go over the forehand, backhand, serve, volley, and footwork in depth. I pay a lot of attention to the mechanics of your basic strokes and this makes a big difference in your learning. We also work on match play, strategy and fitness depending on your interest and skill level. I will tailor the lesson to each student and we will move at a comfortable pace. The tennis lessons are totally fun with lots of high energy and the time will go by quickly, so don’t worry!
