Yoav Saarony Tennis Coaching

Yoav is the best tennis coach I have ever had. He offers really in depth technical instruction for ground strokes, volleys, and serving that I have never received from anyone else. He provides a really clear framework for what competitive tennis is about, from physical/technical aspects, like fitness/strength and how to get more power, to the tactical and mental aspects of the game. As his student I have progressed so much faster and so much more than with any other coach. I love working with Yoav, and I highly recommend him for anyone looking to improve in tennis.

I tell people who ask that Im not just taking tennis lessons but learning to play tennis with all of its nuances and to a professional standard even as a beginner. Yoav drills the fundamentals, building skills incrementally. Each lesson is a progression but with a lot of variation. For example, this morning, we started with a footwork/interval training drill to develop a more powerful first move to the ball, transitioned to a volley drill focusing on coming to the net with purpose and finished with a serve return drill focused on racket preparation and an abbreviated (forehand) swing on the return. We achieve a lot in the space of 60 minutes. In addition, Yoav has and effectively utilizes the state-of-the-art tennis coaching app to record and analyze each phase of the lesson. In short, court time with Yoav is the highlight of my week.

Yoav is a phenomenal instructor. I had played tennis for years as a youth but never as an adult. I recently started playing again and I wanted to find a coach who could help me rebuild my mechanics and footwork as I knew I had poor fundamentals. I've been working with Yoav for a several months and it's been a true pleasure. I really appreciate that he records the sessions for both real-time video review during the lesson and analysis afterwards. I've found it to be extremely helpful to reinforce proper technique and visualize where I was making mistakes. While Yoav is really focused on progression and development, he also has a great attitude and it's always a fun time on the court. It is obvious he is truly passionate about his craft and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor.

I have been taking tennis classes with Yoav for about 5 months. He is the best! I was surprised how hard it is to find a good tennis coach in SF. Im glad I hired Yoav. He is very experienced, always cheering and very easy to work with. I really love how he helps take videos of me playing and analysis the video to help me improve. Highly recommend!!
