What she coaches

Five ways to work with Bec

Everything is priced in the open. No packages you have to buy up front and no contracts.

Also on offer

All ages, all abilities

  • Semi-private lessons

    Two or three players sharing a court and a coach. Bring a friend, a partner, or your kid.

  • Group lessons

    Small groups for juniors and adults, from first-timers to league players.

  • Events

    Parties, club days, and team socials. Tell Bec what you have in mind and she will put it together.

Juniors

From red ball to yellow ball

Bec has coached juniors at every stage of the pathway, from a five-year-old's first rally on a small court to teenagers playing tournaments with a full-size ball.

Each stage has its own ball, court, and goals, and she knows when a player is ready to move up — and when they are not. Rushing a child onto a yellow ball is the fastest way to lose their technique and their fun.

See junior lessons
  1. Red ball

    The slowest ball on a small court. Coordination, first rallies, and falling in love with the game.

  2. Orange ball

    A bigger court and a faster ball. Full swings, first spin, and first matches.

  3. Green ball

    The full-size court with a lower-compression ball. Real tactics and tournament readiness.

  4. Yellow ball

    The full game. Tournaments, UTR, high-school lineups, and beyond.

How a first lesson goes

Four steps, and you are on court by the second one

  1. Say hello

    Call, text, or email. Bec answers within a day and asks what you are trying to fix.

  2. Get on court

    Your first lesson starts with Bec watching you play for ten minutes before she changes anything.

  3. Get a plan

    You leave with two or three specific changes, in writing, and a schedule that fits your week.

  4. Play better

    Standing weekly slots, video check-ins between lessons, and match-day texts when you need them.

Sound-adapted tennis

Houston's specialist

Blind and adaptive tennis, coached properly

The ball rattles so you can hear it. The lines are taped so you can feel them. The court is smaller and, depending on your classification, you get up to three bounces.

Bec is certified in sound-adapted coaching and works with players across the full B1 to B4 range, plus wheelchair and standing adaptive tennis. She brings the equipment. Sliding-scale pricing is available and you never have to explain why you need it.

From her players

The part she did not write

  • My daughter went from crying about tournaments to asking for more of them. Bec fixed her serve toss in two lessons and her confidence in about six.

    Marisol T. · Parent, Bellaire

  • I am 54 and had a one-handed backhand I could not hit under pressure. Bec did not rebuild it. She found the one thing that was wrong with it and we moved up a league level.

    David K. · USTA 3.5, West University

  • Bec was the first coach who did not treat my vision loss as a reason to lower expectations. She taught me the sound-adapted game properly, and I now play in tournaments.

    Aisha R. · B3 player, Third Ward

  • Our Saturday clinic is the most fun ninety minutes of my week and my doubles record says it is working.
