For 20 years and counting, Coach Long has been providing tennis lessons to the residents of the San Fernando Valley.

 

As a local, Coach Long has his DNA all over the tennis community in the San Fernando Valley.  His coaching history began immediately after high school where he was hired to run a local summer tennis program.  While playing for Los Angeles Pierce College, he continued to teach in his spare time.  It was not until after earning his Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from UNLV where he began to teach full time.  

 

In 2010, he returned to Pierce to become the Assistant Coach for the men's team.  During that time, he attended California State University, Long Beach, where he earned his Masters of Science degree in Kinesiology - Sports Medicine and Injury Studies.  In 2015, Coach Long became the Head Coach.  In two short seasons, he brought the team back from last in the conference to winning the conference doubles title with numerous players earning all conference 1st and 2nd team honors.  

 

Coach Long has been a USPTA certified coach for over 12 years.  With his focus on building a strong work ethic, Coach Long has proven track record that will resonate with all ages.
