Jeff Rothbard: A Tennis Coach
At Baseline Tennis Academy, we believe that every player learns uniquely. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mastering the game. That's why we focus on personalized tennis coaching tailored to each player's style, strengths, and goals. By embracing individuality rather than chasing the 'perfect swing,' we empower players to achieve the greatest growth in the shortest amount of time. This approach not only boosts confidence but also fosters a deeper love for the game of tennis.
My passion for teaching tennis began in 1989 while studying at the University of Arizona. Currently, I serve as the Head Teaching Professional at Baseline Tennis Academy, where I coach high-performance juniors and adults of all levels. Many of my students have achieved state, regional, and national success. My coaching experience includes players as young as 4 years old, middle and high school students, competitive adults, and adult beginners. Additionally, I’ve served as the Director of Junior Tennis for Five Seasons Sports Club and coached middle and high school tennis teams.
I have trained with some of the world’s best players, including Michael Chang, former French Open Champion and have competed on several USTA championship teams, achieving 10 state championships, 5 regional championships and two runner-up finishes at USTA Nationals. As a member of the Racquet Sports Professional Association (RSPA, formerly USPTA), I am committed to continuous learning and professional development.
I look forward to sharing my passion, experience, and enthusiasm with you.
