PROGRAMS
CLINICS AND LESSONS
​
We are excited to partner with Mike Pedziwiatr to provide members and non-members group clinics, private lessons and USTA league player training. Mike is an active member of Monroe Tennis Club
Michael Pedziwiatr, a USPTA certified professional instructor who is also Coach Youth Tennis/Net Generation and 10 & Under certified, started playing tennis over 35 years ago and was a hitting partner for Douglas Sachs who went on to play in the ATP tour in the 80’s and 90’s. He has been a player on many local championship teams and took 2nd place at the NTRP National Championships in Naples
Florida in 2018 at his skill level. His approach to teaching tennis is drastically different in the respect that students will learn something very useful and new during each lesson rather than just providing a hitting session, with large improvements in student stroke performance, strategy, and psychology in a short period of time. Clinics and private lessons are available, as are specialty USTA league preparation clinics to improve USTA league player performance in both doubles and singles.
