Andy Stojadinovich
Coaching Staff
I have always had a love for tennis from a very young age. My godfather recognized this and bought me a Donnay wooden tennis racquet for my 9th birthday. I didn’t have any courts near my home, so I would play on the street with a friend or go to the local school and play against a wall. I stopped playing tennis in my late teens, however my passion for this great sport remained in my heart. I didn’t start seriously playing tennis until my early-forties, after a friend invited me to play a doubles match at a local club. I have developed wonderful friendships on the courts over the years. These people who have come into my life through this sport have inspired, mentored and encouraged my growth and development both on and off the court. I chose to become a tennis instructor to contribute to this beautiful sport and inspire others to play tennis and have fun!
My goals are to develop, motivate, and inspire players of all ages and levels to play tennis as a sport for life, and encouraging players to grow and have fun while maintaining a positive, healthy and safe environment.
