What Pete’s Clients Say
I’m new to tennis and was very fortunate to take up lessons with Pete from the start. He is without a doubt the best tennis coach in Cape Town, and came highly recommended by several people I know. He really pays attention and my game has improved tremendously with his pointers. His lessons are fun too; he’s the warmest most engaging coach out there. I’ve made tremendous progress over the past year and a half and can now get through a match without too much embarrassment! Thank you Pete for getting me up and running and for continuing to tweak my game!

Pete is a wonderful coach–kind, attentive, and sharp eyed to what exactly is wrong with your stroke! I’ve had the pleasure of taking lessons from Pete for several years and his indefatigable efforts at making one a better tennis player never fail to produce meaningful improvements to one’s game. He also has a terrific sense of humor and zest for life, and is a lot of fun to hit with. I heartily recommend him to players from beginner to advanced. You will not be disappointed.

With a backdrop of Table Mountain, you couldn’t find a better place to play tennis. Fantastic coaching would certainly be back..

I had the pleasure of training with Pete for a few weeks while in Cape Town, and he is truly a great coach. He is not only encouraging and patient but also provides honest and insightful feedback. As an absolute beginner, I saw noticeable improvement in just five lessons — I gained confidence and was able to play with friends. I highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a very skilled and supportive coach! 🙏

Pete was an absolute legend to get on the court with. I knew that Pete had played on tour so expected his knowledge, and skill level to be right up there. What i wasnt expecting was his enthusiasm and willingness. i was blown away by how much effort he put into every session we had. Spent some time ironing out some kinks. His insight and guidance was top shelf. Cant recommend highly enough…if you love your tennis make sure you get down and introduce yourself. Thanks Pete was truly a quality experience.

Pete was such a breath of fresh air! I played in college and he helped me get back into the game in a way that brought the joy of the game back! I fixed a lot of my bad habits and learned some excellent technique / form adjustments from Pete. He’s a legend!

Pete is a brillant coach, and a super fun guy. I started from scratch with a friend and we both saw great improvements in a short time. Pete is encouraging, knowledgeable and has an elegant way of making complex things seem simple. Erna and I agree that it is our favourite day of the week!
