Beka Tennis Academy

My 9y.o. daughter started at Beka Tennis Academy last summer. We came following a friend’s recommendation and my daughter wasn’t really sure if she wanted to start learning tennis. She has picked up a racquet for the first time on her trial lesson and immediately fell in love with the game. Now she can’t wait until the next lesson. In large part I attribute her interest to the very positive experience at the academy and Beka’s ability to motivate kids and at the same time create a fun and enjoyable environment on the court. Beka and his coaches use personalized approach and give attention to every detail, which is very important for a beginner player. He gives advice not only on the game itself, but also on diet and fitness training.
Beka is truly a world class tennis coach and I highly recommend him and his team to anyone thinking about starting to play tennis or taking their game to the next level.

I have been attending Beka’s tennis academy for just over a year. Started out as a beginner and have learned a lot about my form and thought process while playing. I now feel very comfortable playing sets against intermediate to lower advanced players. I plan to keep attending his classes in hopes of getting to a truly advanced level. His mid week classes are a great break from work and give you a free weekend to play against friends. I would highly recommend Beka’s tennis academy for any players looking to get back into tennis or simply improve their game.

Beka is the best! He’s not just for kids either. I love playing in his group adult classes at night. I can honestly say it’s something I look forward to every week. He’s a riot, classes are fun, and it’s a great way to blow off steam mid week!

I was thrilled with Beka’s Tennis Academy for my 7 year old daughter. He didn’t just teach the kids how to play tennis, he taught sportsmanship and respect. My daughter just loved it every day. We are going to continue it even after school starts. Bravo Beka!

He has been our coach for a few years. I love his technic. He was very patient with my son. He becomes more of a friend than a coach. His style of teaching is very disciplined and very pleasurable in the long run.

I have been taking tennis lessons from Beka for three months. He is extremely knowledgeable about the game and he is an excellent instructor. Each class is a combination of different exercises, gently pushing the student to master the basics, to get better, to improve. Beka’s sense of humor keeps things light, and even beginners like me never feel overwhelmed. The result? You’ll look forward to each lesson, and you’ll learn to appreciate the game, wanting to play more and more!

Beka coaches my son and I cannot say enough good things about him. There are many coaches out there who say they can coach, but Beka has actually coached Irakli Labadze, who played on the pro tour.
Beka is great with kids. He knows when to be hard on them and knows when to good around with them.
He does junior clinics which are excellent. He has a full staff of coaches, and many times has several courts going at the same time. Kids are rotated from court to court as they do various drills. He also does a summer kids tennis camp which I hear is excellent.
In addition he holds adult clinics as well as private lessons. He has coached many celebrities and their kids.
I highly recommend Beka for adults and children.

I took lessons with Beka for about 5 years, and he taught me everything I know about tennis. He made sure that I had solid foundations to build on before proceeding with more advanced techniques, which surely improved my game. I would spend my summers at his tennis camps, which I highly recommend for anyone. The camps are especially beneficial for those students looking to play on school teams. Many of my peers not only played tennis in high school, but continued through their college careers. This could not have been done without Beka instilling a love for the game into all of us.
All in all, you aren’t going to get a better instruction than Beka!

I used to take lessons with Beka’s group a couple of years back, and would recommend any parent to take their child there or any adult to take up lessons with him. I found that his teaching technique was challenging at times (if you are some-​what new), but not too pushy. Beka is an excellent instructor who always finds humor in his instructions and before you know it your 2 hours are up!
He is a very understanding guy and tends to play more of a friend role rather than a strict instructor, which takes some of the pressure off when learning something new. He will practice something with you over and over until the both of you are satisfied, and makes his lessons really fun. He does this by varying up exercises and games that makes kids and even adults more engaged and end up having more fun than they thought. I remember there always being some sort of a game waiting for us towards the end of the lesson and I though how great! This doesn’t need to be a boring lesson.
Overall, my time in the academy was super fun and educational! I became a better player through having fun with people I am still friends with today, and gaining the friendship of a truly talented and dedicated tennis instructor.

I have been taking lessons from Beka for 7 years and have enjoyed every second of it. I improved dramatically after the first couple months. I have taken both private and group lessons from him and I learned something new every time I saw him. He takes the time to teach every student in detail. Under his instruction, I played #1 for my high school for all 4 years and have won multiple junior tournaments and have received college scholarship opportunities from schools on the east coast. He is a great person and treats all of his students with respect. If you want to improve your tennis game I would definitely recommend taking lessons from him.

From a 2.5 player to a 3.5 player! I’ve truly progressed and improved as a tennis player after taking tennis lessons with Beka! I’ve taken countless lessons with him and have really enjoyed watching my tennis game improve! Usually, I’ve taken group lessons with him, and he is still able to take the time to help each of us improve, he notices all the details and simple improvements we can make.
The classes are small and the prices are reasonable! He’s a positive leader and truly enjoys what he does! I always look forward to my next lesson with him!

Beka and all his teachers are amazing. My husband, my daughter and I all take tennis with him.
His lessons are very affordable and he has great class sizes and times.
I would highly recommend anyone wanting to learn from the best, go to Beka!

I have been going to Beka for tennis lessons since I was 8 years old. It is pretty safe to say that I grew up playing tennis with Beka. Today, I am 20 years old and still playing with Beka when I am back from college. Thanks to Beka I can say that I played #1 singles for a CIF championship winning high school team, and went on to play tennis for my college’s club team. Beka definitely made me the player I am today, and made me appreciate the game more than I could ever imagine. More than technique, Beka taught me how to mentally play the game of tennis. He is not only a fun instructor but he is also great at targeting exactly what aspects of your game you need to work on, and patiently working on it with you.
If you are going to taker tennis lessons DEFINITELY give Beka a call!

My two sons take lessons from Beka and are energized and excited every week… in addition, I have taken a few lessons. He is tough with the kids but funny and they look forward to the Summer Camp every year. (Kids are now ⁸⁄₁₁)
He’s a terrific coach, a great individual and think any kid would be lucky to learn from him.

I am definitely a fan of Beka’s classes! His methods are probably not for everyone… but if you have a kid that needs some polish and that extra edge, Beka’s classes are the ones to take. Beka is tough on the outside but knows how motivate young players like no one else! Watching my 9 yr old go from not knowing how to hold a racket to finding his game was worth every penny and every minute. Thanks to a great team there– Beka, Peter, Scott– I now have a tennis-​loving kid who knows he’s capable of more than he was doing before these classes.

Best tennis school in the city
Beka is great guy, wonderful teacher and great mentor to our kids.
He has great system and makes it all a lot of fun for kids.
Summer tennis camp with Beka is great addition to regular tennis lessons.

My son and I both have taken lessons from Beka. He is awesome: right amount of tough love, then encouragement, great technique and fun combined. He is a superior trainer with experience. I would highly recommend him.

Beka has been coaching my kids for years now. His coaching skills are excellent! Not only he teaches the proper technique of the sport but most importantly the strategy. There are many coaches out there that just spend time with the student without really trying to take them on a different level. Beka motivates each student, knowing the strengths and limitations, and make them believe in themselves. He also runs weekly Summer camp which is a great way to practice the skills and have fun. We are very happy to have Beka as our coach!

I have been taking lessons from Beka for almost 6 years. He is an amazing coach who is passionate about what he does. He cares about his students and does everything he can to help them improve, while keeping the lessons entertaining and fun. He doesn’t only teach tennis skills, he also teaches life skills that you will use for the rest of your life such as respect, sportsmanship, no excuses, and honesty. Beka works with every student personally, helping them with any problem they might have, whether the problem is a backswing, grip, or form, Beka is there to fix it. All the lessons I have had with Beka have been time well spent and I recommend him as a coach to anybody with an interest in tennis.

I have been taking lessons from Beka for almost 6 years, and I can honestly say that I have steadily improved since the first day. His understanding not only of the techniques and strategies of the game, but also of my personal strengths and limitations, have helped me grow as a player, and kept me enthusiastic about tennis.
The clinics he runs for adults are fun, somewhat social affairs with players of equal skill and enthusiasm. Lots of fun!
