Tennis Coach Recommendations

I can second the comments about
Chuck Bleckinger, 223 2483, as a teaching tennis pro. After a 20 year tennis
'lay-off' , I walked cold into his San Pablo Blvd shop.....and both he and
his wife, Jewel (who runs the shop/does the stringing) put together some new
gear for me to use. From the first hour with Chuck, I've improved in all areas
of the game. I'm now up to 1 1/2 hours of a solid learning experience
2-3 times a week, as a direct result of his instruction and of his shaking
off 20 years of rust from my game. Chuck is from the mid-west, and not a big
talker-----but he gets all his points across clearly and with great care. He
works will all skill levels....and with players who have disabilities.
Patience, care and a love of the game make Chuck a coach I could recommend to
most any player/player to be. (August, 2006)

I know of many tennis pros
(because I am an avid player myself). One of the best, because he makes
learning tennis fun, is Alvin Hom, 510 451 0825. He teaches in the El Cerrito
area. (June, 2005)

An outstanding and experienced tennis coach is Chuck Bleckinger 223 2483 - He lives on the Richmond Parkway - he also has a tennis shop, which his wife runs. Chuck is a great guy and a wonderful, patient professional tennis teacher. He has been teaching for many years and is also one of the
best Senior players in the State. I highly recommend him. The number
at his shop is 237 8422, but I usually reached him at home. (June,

Hi Ida - some time back, I
mentioned I had the name - or could get it - of a tennis coach in Berkeley;
His name is Norman Sokalski (510) 703 7721. For those interested in levels
(all Greek to me) he is certified as follows USPTA, USPTR Level 1. He teaches
in Berkeley; my colleague said he would not be able to travel here for a
single lesson, but might be interested if there were a group, etc. Or, he is
available if someone wants to travel to him. If anyone is interested, they can
call and chat with him. (June, 2005)
