Testimonials

"My boys started with Murrieta Tennis' summer camp for beginners and it was exceptional! Both John (9) and William (8) learned so many needed tennis skills. The Instructors were phenomenal and taught each student with encouragement and joy! We will definitely keep them enrolled with Murrieta Tennis for as long as they can participate. The prices are fair so that it is affordable for this incredible tennis program. Thanks to all the coaches for making summer so much fun. We had a great time, and we will see you for more tennis this fall!"

As a parent, I can't tell you how much it means to me that my son is having so much fun with tennis. Matt (10) has tried several other sports and has never found this kind of joy and satisfaction. Also, it is also such a pleasure working with the staff at Murrieta Tennis. The instructors are so kind and patient with the kids and they know how to keep it fun for the kids. I also appreciate that the head coaches have contacted me regarding my son's progress and have taken the time to get to know him - what a great bonus! We look forward to having Matt continue with Murrieta Tennis in the months ahead."

"I enjoy tennis because I can have fun can be active. I can lose weight while playing a game I enjoy. I love the games that we play in tennis like jail, the tap game and caterpillar. While playing tennis I think it is nice to meet new people and begin new friendships. It's nice to be in groups so everyone can connect to each other. As I am learning it's fun to switch to the coaches teaching the class so that I can see which coach teaches the best for me since everyone learns differently"

"Marcus started playing tennis in 2007 at 12 years old, and he very quickly decided he wanted to be one of the best for his age in Southern California. In the tennis world, twelve is a very late start to succeed at such a high level. Fourteen months later, Marcus is ranked #90 in the boys 14's in all of So. Cal, and in the last three months he has had two wins over boys ranked in the 60's. It is anticipated that before he moves into the 16's, he will attain an open ranking of 50 or better. Additionally, as a freshman Marcus is playing #2 Murrieta Valley High School's Varsity team. We are enormously proud of Marcus and credit his accelerated success to his private instruction with Kristen. Kristen started Marcus off in this game and continues to coach him to success through her disciplines on and off the court. We highly recommend Kristen to any parents whose ambition is to see their child succeed at a high level. She is high energy and has learned to successfully translate this excitement and education to her students."

"Kristen and Ben are fantastic; they have improved our son's tennis game tremendously. We appreciate them so much because they have been a great inspiration and a positive role model in his life."

"When my daughter Kara tried out for the high school tennis team, she automatically was placed on the J.V. team. Kara wanted to improve her game so that she could make the Varsity team the next time around. I found Kristen and Ben through a friend of a friend and signed my daughter up for private lessons with Kristen and the groups. Within six months my daughter improved so much - the high school coach took notice and moved her up to the Varsity Team! Kara has also started playing in U.S.T.A. tournaments with the help and guidance of both Kristen and Ben. As coaches they both work hard on the fundamentals of tennis to break the bad habits the kids have picked up along the way. I would recommend their training to anyone."

"Kristen began working with my 11-year-old daughter Emily two years ago and the lessons with Kristen have made a great impact on her game. Emily was just beginning to play U.S.T.A tournaments and was ranked #180 in the 10-and-under division. Emily ended up moving all the way up to #11 before moving into the 12-and-under division a few months ago! Emily has also been selected to be a part of the U.S.T.A. Training Academy at the Home Depot Center along with only 48 other top girls her age across the country. Oftentimes when I take Emily to tournaments, parents come up to me and want to know who coaches my daughter because they think her technique is so sound. She is always getting compliments on her beautiful strokes and I know this is due to Kristen's detailed instruction."

"My daughter, Madison, has done other group tennis lessons before we signed up with Murrieta Tennis. She was wary of joining Murrieta Tennis because so much time was spent standing around and waiting in the other groups she joined. But after her first class with Kristen and Ben, she couldn't wait to come back. They run a structured, yet fun program that keeps the kids active and learning the entire lesson. Madison can't wait for her tennis lessons because they are so much fun. Her goal is to be ready for the high school tennis team in 2 years, and I know that Kristen and Ben will make sure she is ready!"

"Anita and I feel truly blessed to have found Coach Kristen. In two years of working privately with Kristen, Jessica has catapulted to #29 in So. Cal in the 10-and-under division. Jess still has almost two years of eligibility in this and has a definite shot to end at #1. We want to thank Kristen for helping Jessica with her tennis skills. She has learned so much through Kristen's patient and detailed teaching approach. Kristen has made a great impact on Jessica's tennis game, and I know that Jessica will benefit from these teachings for the rest of her life."

"Our daughter, Krystal, a sophomore at MVHS, was a lifetime soccer player since the age of four. Last summer as her 15th birthday approached she decided that she wanted to try tennis. At the first lesson, Kristen recognized Krystal's raw talent for tennis and supported her decision to pursue tennis and a spot on the MVHS tennis team!! Throughout last summer Kristen and Ben coached and prepared Krystal for the high school team tryouts. Krystal made the MVHS tennis team after picking up a racquet just 12 weeks prior!! Not only that, Krystal went on to be virtually undefeated during the season and also won a U.S.T.A. tournament in Orange County. We are grateful to Kristen and Ben for the opportunites they have opened up for our daughter, Krystal."

"My nine-year-old daughter Amanda and seven-year-old son Chris are just starting to play in U.S.T.A. tournaments. Murrieta Tennis offers the right program to get my kids to the next level. They focus on all aspects of development that contribute to championship level performance. Either with group or private lessons, Kristen and Ben always give 100% inspirational instruction. With just a few months of lessons with Murrieta Tennis, we saw a great improvement in both of our kid's games."

"Kristen Grady is an excellent tennis coach all the way around! Our daughter, Meghan, had been playing in U.S.T.A. junior tournaments since she was eight years old and doing well. Despite good success it was clear she was still missing certain fundamentals in her game and strokes, and that's where Kristen came in. We knew about Kristen's success as both a junior and college player, so when we heard she had graduated college and was giving lessons in town, we knew we had to see what she could do for Meghan. Kristen developed Meghan's strokes to make them fundamentally sound and improved her overall game, as well as giving her lots of valuable insight to competitive tennis. Meghan finished the 14-and-under division ranked #19! We look forward to our youngest daughter starting lessons with Kristen soon!"
