TENNIS & PICKLEBALL LESSONS IN LAKE FOREST, CA
YOUR COURT.
YOUR PROGRESS.
Lake Forest players have a coach who comes to them. Gleason Tennis arranges private tennis and pickleball sessions around your schedule, whether you are a beginner learning the basics, a junior building real technique, an adult getting back into the game, a recreational player chasing consistency, or a competitive player sharpening for matches. Jimmy Gleason coaches from a Laguna Hills home base only a few minutes away.
NEXT DOOR.
NEXT LEVEL.
Lake Forest sits right next door to the Gleason Tennis home base, which makes it one of the easiest places to coach on a regular rhythm. Weekly sessions, a block of lessons before a season, or a single tune up can all fit around work, school, and family schedules.
Every lesson is private, so nothing is generic. Jimmy watches how you actually hit, move, and decide, then gives you one or two things to own before the next session. Tennis players and pickleball players each get coaching built for their sport.
Recreational players usually want cleaner strokes and longer rallies. Competitive juniors and adults want patterns, pressure habits, and a plan for match day. Both get a coach who adapts to the player in front of him.

COURTS THAT
WORK FOR YOU.
Lake Forest has a mix of residential neighborhoods, HOA communities, and public recreation spaces, so where a lesson happens can vary from player to player. Sessions may be arranged at a suitable private, home, HOA, community, or other appropriate court when access and scheduling line up.
Gleason Tennis is not affiliated with and does not control any court, club, school, or city facility in Lake Forest, and no court is guaranteed. Share where you normally play when you reach out and Jimmy will confirm whether that location can work.

FOOTHILL RANCH
TO PORTOLA HILLS.
From Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills to the established neighborhoods in the center of the city, Lake Forest players are only a short drive from Laguna Hills. That proximity is what makes consistent weekly coaching realistic rather than a once in a while event.
Players in neighboring Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Irvine can schedule the same way.
These areas are mentioned for geographic context only. Gleason Tennis has no partnership with any Lake Forest HOA, club, school, or city facility.
