Here's what coaches from recent year's conferences have said...

"Skip, I want to thank you for helping me finally get to the Jekyll Island Tennis Conference. I have been coaching football and tennis for 30 years. I was pretty well confident in my coaching abilities but wanted to get better as a tennis coach. Being totally immersed in the tennis coaching community for two days was awesome! The fellow high school coaches and professionals worked together to teach and actually do the drills our players can do. I just know that whether a beginning Coach, or an old stubborn guy like me, you will learn and enjoy on court and off court activities.
I can't wait till next year!"
David Strobel, Lamar County High School

"If you want to get inspired, motivated, and fully ready for your tennis season, attend this conference."
Sam Biglari, Galloway School

"This conference will lead coaches to successful tennis programs. It's a key to success."
Wayne Brooks, Jackson County High School


"Every tennis coach needs this!"

"Aside from being an excellent clinic, I find several aspects of it uplifting...touching base with old friends, setting up matches, and the strong sense of re-dedication to our sport."
Alan Hogan, Lumpkin County High School

"As a first year coach, I learned many valuable drills/strategies to use with my players. I also improved my own game, gained some new allies...and had fun!"
Haley Watson, Worth County High School
