Tennis & Pickleball
Bringing the game to you so that you can live it all day, everyday
It’s not just a sport, it’s a lifestyle.
I am incredibly thankful for the lifestyle that sports has afforded me. Through tennis and pickleball, I have been able to stay active, healthy, and connect with so many wonderful people. Not only that, but I have been able to travel to some amazing places and make unforgettable experiences.
For example, I spent three years coaching Sir Richard Branson and his guests on Necker Island, led a Division I team of student-athletes for six years in New York City, and have competed in professional tournaments around the world, including Wimbledon and the French Open, reaching my highest world rank #76 in doubles.
When I meet new clients, many of them tell me that they haven't played tennis since high school, or that they've always wanted to learn but never had the time. If you can relate to this, I urge you to start now. Prioritize your physical, emotional, and mental well-being by investing in yourself. Once you make it a commitment, it becomes central to your life!
And remember, you can be as competitive or social as you want - after all, the trophies are best left to the pros.
See you on the court.

Riza is a fantastic tennis coach for the whole family! I was fortunate to have had my friend share Riza with my son for tennis lessons. From my very first lesson, I began to improve. My son is 5 and loses interest quickly but Riza is able to make tennis lessons fun and engaging for him and his friends. They receive professional instruction and always look forward to winning the prizes which Riza so cleverly uses as incentive to get the kid’s motivation flowing. She is a very talented and knowledgeable tennis player herself and most importantly is able to diagnose what I am doing incorrectly and or shows me how to improve my tennis technique. It truly able to has been wonderful to work with Riza, because she radiates positive energy, pushes my friend and I to work harder and she is fun and engaging. If you are someone who is just looking to have an elite athlete to hit with, she is also your gal!

Tennis is my favorite sport, unfortunately I’m not very good at playing it! After working with Riza, I can now play a respectable game of tennis. I love all my time with Riza and cannot say enough good things about her! Play with Riza you won’t be disappointed

Riza rocks! I’m so fortunate to have her as a teacher/coach; and it shows in my PickleBall game! From teaching basic techniques to me as a beginner, to now teaching strategies to be more competitive, Riza makes it fun and interesting, with great drills and play. She will help you too!

When I first started playing pickleball this year, I decided that if I was to improve my game, I needed a coach. I met Riza and took several lessons with her. She was so patient and made me feel so comfortable where I was in my game. As I improved over time, she kept coaching me up to the next level in a soft, quiet way. After a few months, I was able to play in my first local tournament. I would not have done that without her talent and support. Thank you, Riza!
