Incredible tennis coach. The best tennis instructor my family has found in years. Highly recommend Tennisrva

I hope I'm leaving this review for the correct coach. Mike (coach Michael) saw my children and our neighbors children hitting old tennis balls around at Mary Mumford with even older rackets. Fifteen minutes later he returned with a case of new tennis balls and three newer rackets. He never asked for a thank you or expected anything in return. He just wanted the kids to enjoy playing with newer equipment.
I'm not a review parent but this incredible act of generosity just warmed my heart and I wanted to thank him personally but have yet to have that chance. Thank you Michael for making my kids year.

The most passionate and caring coach! (That is hard to come by these days) and avid tennis player! He really cares about each athlete as an individual and knows whats best for them in their tennis career and how to attack that. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Tennisrva is nothing like the clubs our family has gone to before. Thankfully his coaching style mixed with his humor is a perfect fit. We thought we knew about tennis before meeting this Coach. We felt foolish at first because we actually were not taught the details. My daughter loves her lessons and her playing level is rapidly becoming more impressive.

A treasure find for us. Coach Michael is a very talented and educated man. He easily relates with each of our children and understands how to coach without making it confusing. Highly recommend.

Mr. DeZaine is an awesome coach and cultivator of potential. His investment in his profession and his pupils is evident from day one as he makes an early assessment and identifies long and short-term goals. His attention to not only the form and focus of his pupils, but also the understanding of their demands off the court allows him to obtain the best out of his clients... He has a great eye for small nuances in the swing, footwork or any aspect of the game which also helps with achieving the best out of his players.

A truly gifted professional coach with detailed attention and simple instructions.
We have tried 5 different clubs around the area and most of the coaches who were recommended to us but found their instructions to be amateur at best.
We found coach Michael to be a true professional in everything tennis.
Best coach and program in Virginia.

I am very appreciative of Michael's dedication to tennis and the encouragement that he provides each week for my son. He appears to truly care about his clients and takes the time to speak to us in detail about my son's lessons. My 8 year old recently started lessons at TennisRVA and is excited to go back each week. I highly recommend Tennis RVA to any individual who is interested in learning the sport.

I give tennisrva a rating only 5 stars because Michael is extremely patient and fun to be around as a coach. He isn't always nice but will yell if he thinks I'm not focusing. He always has incredible advice for me on the court and great advice for the mental side of tennis. My dad and I have gone through a few coaches looking for someone with advanced tennis knowledge and who is both understanding and experienced. I would highly recommend Mr. DeZaine and tennisrva to everyone looking for a private coach.

TennisRVA is hands down, the best tennis instruction you can find in the Richmond Virginia area. The lessons so far have been customized around my level which is around a 4.5-5.0. My tennis game has improved greatly since I started taking private lessons from Mr. DeZaine. He's fun, easy going and extremely talented. He works around my schedule and always has a exact goal planned for each lesson. I highly recommend Tennisrva and Mr. Dezaine for all level players who want a truly professional tennis coach.

I was nervous and excited about taking tennis lessons again. Having played in college I was expecting that tennisrva was going to just feed me tennis balls. I was incredibly surprised with how much knowledge and attention to detail I received. If you're are serious about tennis and want to focus working on the fundamentals of the game then this is the place to be. My skills have increased and my performance on the court is better than ever. The one on one instruction is excellent.

My son started coaching from Mike about 3 months ago. My experience had been wonderful with Mr. DeZaine. My son had been with a couple of coaches before Mike. The main difference I saw between others and Mike is the passion he has for the sport. His coaching is mainly based on improving the basics which is key to becoming a good tennis player.He has great knowledge of the sport and is not commercial. He believes in improving your skill and work with you patiently. My son's skill is improving because of his coaching and his fitness also. He has a lot of patience to teach the kids so that they become quality players. He is not only a phenomenal coach but also a great person to be around. I would recommend Mr. DeZaine to anyone wanting to improve their tennis game.

I am a novice in tennis, but Mike has been the best thing to my tennis game! He's easy to work with and very patient. He teaches you the fundamentals in a way that anyone could understand. Anyone would benefit from Mike. Whether a novice or someone whose advanced. I highly recommend him.

I am very happy to have found Mike. My brother needed a coach who could take him to the next level and I believe Mike is the man to do it. His lessons are high energy and challenging but fun which is the perfect combination in my opinion. My brother has newfound motivation now and we look forward to his continued growth in tennis.

I love working with Mike. He helped get me back into tennis after years of not playing and is now helping me transition to league play. He's willing to work with anyone who wants to play and welcoming no matter your skill level. He's affordable, easy to communicate with, on time and enthusiastic. I'd happily recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their tennis game.

Coach Michael helped my daughter improve her tennis skills and knowledge of the game. She enjoys all her practices.

I brought my daughter to Mike to improve on her beginner skills. She had never had much instruction even though she was on her school tennis team last year. In a matter of about a month and a half, Mike had her hitting so well, she is able to hit competitively with some of the best on her team. Se is really looking forward to continuing working with Mike and see how far she can take her game with him. She has much higher aspirations with tennis now! Thanks Mike, and we're looking forward to continuing to get so much better with you!

I have played tennis for three years for my school, but I never had my own professional coach until a year ago. With Michael coaching me I have improved greatly. Two years ago I was not in the starting lineup for any of my schools tennis matches, but last year (when Michael started coaching me) I played almost every single match. This school year I am aiming to be number one, and the possibility is very likely. I could have never asked for a better tennis coach. Micheal pushes me to be the best I can be, and he never gives up on me when I am having a hard time learning something. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, whether you have played tennis for ten years or have never picked up a racquet. - Lauren G

Michael is a great coach! As someone who had never taken formal tennis lessons before he made each lesson unique to my skill level, always pushing me to improve but at the same time making it a fun learning environment!!!

Under coach Mr. Dezaine my skill level skyrocketed to number 1 in my high school in under six months. My parents and I have tried multiple coaches from all the biggest tennis clubs and we just couldn't find a coach who could explain the more complex skills in a easy way to understand in the way he could. Mr. Dezaine knows how to make a good player great. His reputation for producing top ranking and nationally ranked juniors was clear after only a few lessons. I would highly recommend him to all players looking to play beyond high school and in tournaments.

My experience had been wonderful with Mr. DeZaine, not only has my skill improved because of his coaching but my knowledge of the game has as well. He is not only a phenomenal coach but also a great person to be around, he makes lessons fun and it feels more like playing tennis with an extremely helpful friend compared to a strict lesson. I would recommend Mr. DeZaine to anyone wanting to improve their tennis game.
