TENNIS & PICKLEBALL LESSONS IN COSTA MESA, CA
BUILD YOUR GAME.
POINT BY POINT.
Costa Mesa is a short trip from the Gleason Tennis home base, and private coaching travels well. Jimmy Gleason works with beginners picking up a racket for the first time, adults rebuilding their game, juniors developing real technique, recreational players who want more consistency, and competitive players preparing to win. Tennis and pickleball are both coached one player at a time.
ONE POINT.
THEN THE NEXT.
Good tennis is built in small, repeatable pieces, and that is how Costa Mesa lessons are structured. Each session isolates one part of the game, repeats it under movement, and then puts it back into live points so the improvement actually shows up when you play.
The same patience applies to pickleball. Soft hands, patient dinking, and clean transitions are drilled until they hold up in real rallies.
Sessions are private and scheduled around you, so weekday evenings, weekend mornings, and school year or summer rhythms can all work.
EVERY PLAYER.
EVERY STAGE.

A COURT
NEAR YOU.
Costa Mesa players usually have a few options for where to train, from residential and HOA courts to community courts and other suitable locations nearby. When access is available and timing works, Jimmy can coach at the court that is most convenient for you.
No court in Costa Mesa is owned, operated, or guaranteed by Gleason Tennis. Each location keeps its own rules on use and reservations, so the plan is agreed with you before the first session rather than assumed.

EASTSIDE TO
MESA VERDE.
Costa Mesa stretches from the Eastside neighborhoods near the Newport border through Mesa Verde and central Costa Mesa to the South Coast area, and the right court for a lesson depends on where you live and when you can play. Jimmy builds the schedule around that instead of asking you to commute.
Players from neighboring Newport Beach and Irvine can arrange sessions the same way.
These areas are listed for geographic context only. Gleason Tennis has no court partnership, club relationship, school relationship, or HOA arrangement in Costa Mesa.

PLAYER CENTERED
COACHING.
Gleason Tennis is based in Laguna Hills, California, and Jimmy Gleason coaches players throughout Orange County by scheduling. Costa Mesa sessions follow the same principle as every other lesson: the player in front of him sets the plan.
Your age, experience, goals, and game determine what each lesson covers, and every drill ties technique to movement, court position, and the choice you make on the next ball.
COMMON
QUESTIONS.
Do you offer tennis lessons in Costa Mesa?
Yes. Jimmy Gleason provides private tennis lessons for Costa Mesa players at every level, traveling to sessions by scheduling from the Laguna Hills home base.
Where can Costa Mesa coaching take place?

Can beginners take private lessons?
