Tennis lessons that click.
Boutique, one-on-one tennis instruction for kids and adults — from a first-ever rally to competitive match play.
Hi, I'm Karina.
I grew up inside the game — and I coach the way I wish I'd been taught: clear, patient, and genuinely fun, whether you're five years old or returning to the court at fifty.
I trained at IMG Academy in Bradenton before competing four years of collegiate tennis, where I played singles and doubles at the top of the lineup. That competitive background shapes everything I teach — sound fundamentals first, then the strategy and mindset that actually win points.
Today I coach here in Sarasota, working with juniors taking their very first swings, adults discovering the sport, and competitors sharpening their match game. Every lesson is built around your goals.
A format for every age and ambition.
All lessons are held on premium hard courts in Sarasota. Rackets and balls provided for first-timers.
Private 1-on-1
Fully individualized coaching built around your goals — stroke mechanics, footwork, strategy, and match confidence. The fastest way to improve.
Semi-Private
Bring a partner or family member. Shared focus, live rally reps, and a bit of friendly competition at a friendlier rate.
Junior Development
Age-appropriate progressions that build coordination, technique, and a genuine love of the game — from red-ball beginners to tournament juniors.
Group Clinic
High-energy small-group clinics organized by level. Drills, point play, and conditioning in a supportive, social setting.
Match-Play Coaching
Live-point coaching for competitors — patterns of play, shot selection, and the in-between-points mindset that wins close matches.

“My daughter went from barely making contact to winning her first junior match in a season. Karina makes every lesson feel like play.”
“I'm 52 and picked up a racket for the first time last spring. Karina's patience and structure had me rallying confidently within a month.”
“Her match-play sessions completely changed how I think on court. I finally understand how to build a point instead of just hitting hard.”
