Tennis coaching.
Your court.
Your game.
Private, semi-private and group tennis lessons in Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Altadena, Arcadia and Glendale. Poom travels to the court you choose. Every new student starts with an assessment and a written four-week plan.
SET 01Coaching built around you
Six formats. Same idea: coaching that fits the player.
From group tennis lessons in Los Angeles to kids tennis lessons, every format comes to your court.
SET 02We come to you
Your neighborhood.
Your court.
Poom's Tennis Academy is a service-area tennis coaching business. Instead of everyone commuting to one facility, lessons happen at a court that's convenient for you.
- Neighborhood tennis courts
- Apartment & condo courts
- Private courts
- Public tennis facilities
Court availability and any reservation requirements are coordinated with you. No court is owned, controlled or guaranteed by the academy.

SET 04Coaching philosophy
Learn the why, not just the drill.
Good coaching gives you a clear reason for every adjustment. You should leave knowing what changed, what it fixes and how to repeat it on your own.
The lesson follows your movement, timing and goals rather than forcing every player through the same sequence of drills.
- FundamentalsGrip, contact, balance, recovery, in that order.
- AdaptationThe plan follows the player, not a template.
- UnderstandingYou should be able to explain what changed and why.
- ConsistencyMore balls in, at a margin that survives pressure.
- MovementPositioning that buys time before the ball arrives.
- TransferPractice that shows up when the score matters.
And lessons should be enjoyable. Players who like being on court practice more, and players who practice more improve faster.

SET 05What you get
Every new student starts with an assessment and a written four-week plan.
The first hour is a real lesson, not a sales meeting. It ends with a written plan you keep: what we are changing, in what order, and what should look different in four weeks.
01
Warm-up and watch
Fifteen minutes of rallying so I can see your real strokes rather than your best ones.
02
Assessment
Grip, contact point, balance, recovery and movement, checked one at a time.
03
One change on court
We pick the single change that unlocks the most, and you hit enough balls to feel it.
04
Your written four-week plan
Sent after the session: the priority order, what to practice between lessons, and the target for week four.
Not sure which lesson is right for you?
Pick the line that sounds most like you.

Make a selection and I'll point you at the format that usually fits best.
SET 07Before you book
The practical details, answered up front.
- Who arranges the court?
- We agree it when you book. You can name your court, or ask for a suggestion near you. Public, apartment, HOA and private courts all work.
- What should I bring?
- A racquet, court shoes and water. If you do not own a racquet yet, say so and one can be provided for the first session.
- Are there travel fees?
- No travel fee anywhere inside the stated service area. Anything beyond it is quoted before you book.
- What about court fees?
- Where a facility charges for the court, that cost is yours and is stated before the session is confirmed.
- Cancellation
- 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Inside that window the session is charged.
- How do I start?
- Send a request with your level, your neighborhood and two or three windows that work. Nothing is confirmed until the court and time are agreed.
Full rates and terms are on the pricing page.
SET 08Where I coach
Pasadena at the center, Los Angeles around it.
The week is built around Pasadena and the foothill cities. Lessons further west and east still happen, they just get grouped onto shared days.
- GlendaleGlendale sits at the hinge of the whole service area (Valley to the west, Northeast LA to the south, Pasadena to the east) and it books more family lessons than anywhere else on the route.Tennis lessons in Glendale →
- PasadenaPasadena has the deepest recreational tennis culture in the service area, and the lessons here reflect it.Tennis lessons in Pasadena →
- ArcadiaArcadia is a junior tennis town, and most of the requests that come from here are made by a parent on behalf of a kid.Tennis lessons in Arcadia →
- South PasadenaSouth Pasadena is small enough to cross in ten minutes, which makes it one of the most reliable places on the schedule to get a court and a start time that actually hold.Tennis lessons in South Pasadena →
- San MarinoSan Marino has more private residential courts per street than anywhere else in the core service area, which makes it the neighborhood where lessons most often happen at home.Tennis lessons in San Marino →
- AltadenaAltadena sits high enough against the foothills that the weather here runs a few degrees cooler than the rest of the core area, and it shows up in the schedule.Tennis lessons in Altadena →
