Your Coach

Develop The Athlete First,
The Tennis Player Second

I work with students from ages 4 to 99, and I make it a point to train you toward whatever your goal actually is. That might be picking up a racquet for the first time, or just having fun on the court. It might be becoming a national competitor or playing a world renowned tournament. It might be getting a head start on losing weight before the holidays.

I have always had the mindset of develop the athlete first and the tennis player second. That philosophy has produced multiple national competitors, along with students who have gone on to place in world renowned tournaments.

What A Lesson
Actually Looks Like

No standing in line waiting for a turn. Your player hits from the first minute to the last, and every rep gets watched and corrected on the spot.

Sessions are built around where the player actually is. A beginner spends the hour on contact and footwork. A tournament player spends it on patterns, serve, and pressure situations.

Stroke technique: forehand, backhand, volley, serve
Footwork and court movement, which is where most points are actually won
Live ball drills and rally tolerance
Point construction and match situations
Beginners through competitive juniors, plus adults
Courts in and around League City and Friendswood
One hour or half hour, scheduled directly with Coach Rheise
Not Sure Which Length?

Half hour lessons work well for younger players and for tune ups between matches. Most players ages 10 and up get more out of the full hour.

No More Chasing Payment

When you book a single lesson you pay for that lesson up front and your card is securely saved by Stripe. After that, each lesson is charged automatically once it happens, and you get an emailed receipt. Nobody has to remember to hand over cash at the fence. PlayForge never sees or stores your card number, and you can have the card removed any time by emailing or texting Coach Rheise. Full details are in the terms.

Semi-Private Training

Bring A Friend,
Split The Rate

Two to four players sharing one court and one coach. Works well for siblings, doubles partners, or friends at a similar level.

Good To Know

The Short Version

A quick summary so there are no surprises. The full terms are the ones that actually apply.

Cancellations

Give 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule and there is no charge. Less than 24 hours notice or a no show, and the lesson is charged in full or comes out of your package.

Weather

If weather or court conditions cancel a lesson, it gets rescheduled. It is never counted as used and never lost.

Refunds

Lessons and packages are non refundable. If something comes up, reach out and unused lessons can usually be turned into credit.

Card On File

Saving a card means each completed lesson is charged automatically at the published rate, with an emailed receipt. You can have it removed any time.

Waiver First

The waiver has to be completed by a parent or guardian, or by the adult player, before the first lesson. One time only.

Running Late

Lessons end at the scheduled time either way, so the court stays on schedule for the family after you.
