What People Are Saying
“I love the classes with coach Esther. She’s always so funny and she pushes me to do my best. I especially love her double dares. Then I try super hard. ”

“Coach Esther and the staff at Brainiac Tennis are amazing. They are very patient and more than willing to work with kids who are hesitant. Our son, Henry, was very reluctant, and they made him feel comfortable.”
