Henry The Sports Bug founder and creator Melissa Detwiler says “Learn about how we merge the joy of learning tennis with the adventure of reading through our Pre-School and Elementary Tennis Enrichment Classes.” Melissa recommends exploring their structured programs designed to “foster physical, social, and emotional development in young children.” (Henry’s Program) |
The program works at 12 local schools in the Valley and on the Westside. Get Henry The Sportsbug in your school or pre-school. Melissa is also looking for assistants who are great with kids. No need to be a certified tennis professional. Contact Melissa: [email protected].

Coach Aleksey Zharinov Private lessons and clinics. Author of the book “The Russian System.” Organizer of the “Rock ‘N Roll Tennis Camps.” |
Aleksey: “My lessons are customized to the individual needs of my students. Be it an individual shot or a strategy against a certain kind of player, I can teach it all. I have the highest review rating in the entire LA to prove it. I believe that the proper technical skills are the cornerstone of any high-level playing, which is why I strongly emphasize and teach it in all my lessons. My goal is to break it all down and to make sure that my students understand the concepts behind all the shots and strategies. Ultimately, I want them to become good at self-coaching so that they can keep improving whenever they play on their own.
