LaToya Boyd
Tennis Coach in Atlanta, GA
I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.

“Latoya's lesson was incredibly helpful, especially the drill about going around the ball and positioning my body better. While I still hope to hit the ball consistently from that spot, it's a good start to improving my game. Still, I appreciated the clear focus on technique and how it gave me a better feel for body positioning during play. If you're looking to refine your control and stance, don’t think twice, give Latoya a try. She’s so patient, observant, helpful and will explain and demonstrate everything with encouragement and love. ”

LaToya was amazing. She started with the basics before we even picked up a racquet. Each level built upon those fundamental until i was hitting balls over the net. She's detail oriented and makes learning fun! Highly recommend!!

The lesson with Latoya stood out because she really takes her time explaining things, which I found quite helpful, especially when she broke down some tennis concepts patiently. Though, I guess I was expecting a bit more focus on specific techniques, but her positive reinforcement definitely kept me motivated. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing how much I improve with her guidance.
