About Our Coaches

Granite State Kids is fortunate to have very dedicated tennis professionals providing tennis instruction, strategy and skill development. Our head pros are USPTA and/or USPTR certified.

We strive to keep our player to coach ratio low to provide the best experience for the junior players. We hire assistant coaches to accomplish this goal. Our assistant coaches are our best assets. To qualify each needs to be an outstanding role model. They need to be enthusiastic, energetic, outgoing and dedicated to working with children. In addition each is a varsity high school or college tennis player.

Everyday our head pros and assistant coaches give outstanding effort to making tennis a fantastic on court experience.

Granite State Kids CTA (GSK) is a NH non-profit corporation. Our mission is to help boys and girls ages 5 – 18 get into the game of tennis, get on the court and have a great time.
