At ROGace, we coach children—not just a sport.
We believe tennis is a powerful vehicle for building character, confidence, and connection. That’s why every session goes beyond strokes and footwork. We focus on joy, purpose, and personal growth.
We don’t chase quick wins or short-term thrills. We avoid the “chocolate for breakfast” approach—momentary highs that ultimately fail our kids. Instead, we commit to timeless principles, practiced with intention every day.
We work closely with parents, providing guidance that supports each child’s long-term development—on and off the court.
And while our coaches are trained in technical excellence, what matters most to us is their heart—their alignment with our mission and their ability to lead with integrity, care, and joy.
I didn’t set out to become a children’s tennis coach.
Early in my coaching career, I focused on high-performance juniors—the world I knew best from years of competitive play. I steered clear of younger players because, honestly, I knew they’d see right through me. I had no formal training in working with kids—something surprisingly common in tennis. In this industry, if you’ve got a basket of balls and know the lingo, you’re suddenly a coach. But children deserve more.
Tennis has been a part of my life since 2009, when I picked up a racquet in Texas and never looked back. From the beginning, I knew this sport would always play a big role in shaping who I am.
During my years at the University of South Florida, I had the opportunity to lead one of the largest college club tennis programs in the country—over 250 members strong—while also coaching in the local community.
At ROGace, our coaches aren’t just instructors—they’re mentors with a mission.
Each one is handpicked for their passion to impact young lives through sport and their unwavering belief in the power of character-building. This isn’t just a job. It’s a calling. We operate with the mindset of a purpose-driven team—people motivated by heart, not just a paycheck.
Before stepping onto the court, every coach completes a comprehensive training pathway designed by Wojtek. They study our philosophy, observe sessions for two full weeks, and gradually transition into teaching—first alongside a mentor, then under direct supervision. Even after onboarding, our approach remains hands-on to ensure every coach continues to grow in alignment with our values.
We emphasize joy, connection, and purpose in every class—and our coaches are trained to lead with those principles at the forefront.
Most of our team comes from two powerful sources: parents who’ve seen the transformation ROGace creates and feel inspired to contribute, and former ROGace students who return to give back. That generational spirit is part of what makes ROGace more than a program—it’s a community.
While our coaches don’t email parents directly (we keep communication streamlined through leadership), their energy, care, and presence on the court speak volumes. Every group, every moment, every smile—they’re here to serve.
