""When my two boys started taking lessons with CV, they were struggling to win a match…within two years, they both succeeded in being a top ranked junior…my older son has even earned national ranking points and my younger son is well poised to do the same. As a former college and ranked player, I cannot think of a better coach for my sons than CV!"Liz Hainey, PhD
“CV helped me in many aspects of my game, most notably my technique, mental focus, and confidence. His coaching was instrumental in me becoming a much better tennis player.”

"I took up tennis late in life and I'm now playing a lot of tennis in my retirement. I can attest that one does not have to be a youngster to benefit from CV's instruction. He was able to quickly analyze my game and improve my skill by making valuable corrections and suggestions in small steps that I could handle without being overwhelmed. Even more importantly, I got to know CV well during his four years at Canyon Creek and saw that his personality and character make him a superb role model for both youths and adults."
