Miles is an amazing tennis coach. My whole family has gotten to work with him and we have each had such a positive experience. I have taken the adult classes and he has helped me greatly improve. Miles has also coached each of my kids. He makes playing tennis really fun and enjoyable for them. He comes up with different games during practice where he has all of the kids laughing while being active. Miles is very patient and is always very prompt when it comes to communication.

I really enjoy the format of Miles beginner class. He pays attention to everyone’s form and provides feedback to ensure you are getting better. The class is fun but has the right amount of challenge. Definitely worth taking his class if you would like to improve/learn while enjoying the journey.

Miles is amazing and so kind! I started lessons as a beginner and he does a great job at breaking everything down. When reaching out about missed sessions, he responded quickly and was very accommodating. I highly recommend Miles Ahead Tennis!

Miles makes tennis so fun that watching the class is one of my favorite hours of the week! My second grader grins ear to ear throughout the class as he learns skills and gets his energy out. It’s easily his favorite activity, and he wants to keep going to it forever, thanks to Miles’ fun-loving approach. Highly recommend!

I’ve been taking lessons with Miles for about 5 weeks and I’ve seen major improvement in my skills in this short amount of time. He’s an amazing coach, very patient, easy to learn from, and really good at explaining things in a simple way that actually clicks. Lessons are always positive and motivating, and he really focuses on helping you build confidence and solid technique. I plan to continue taking his classes to keep improving. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and wanting to level up your tennis skills!

I am currently enrolled in the 3.0 clinic and private tennis lessons at Wheaton Indoor Tennis with Miles. He is the best tennis coach by any measure. In our initial session, he identified my developmental areas and gave me simple techniques to improve them. After only a few clinics and lessons, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my skills. Miles has a positive and simple approach to coaching, which makes learning easy and fun. I have tried different coaches and clinics throughout the DMV and by far Miles is the best.

I’ve been playing tennis for three years and taken many lessons, but my progress had plateaued. Working with Miles changed that immediately. He elevated every part of my game, and the improvement especially in the areas I had struggled with for years was surprisingly fast. His explanations made everything click, and the results spoke for themselves. I highly recommend taking a lesson with him and seeing the difference firsthand.
