Meet Our Head Coach
Coach Isaiah Pekary, Head Coach, USPTA teaching profesional
A Bay Area native, Isaiah gravitated to tennis through the influence of his grandfather, a highly successful player with the US Navy. Under the instruction of great coaches, including former Wimbledon doubles champion Sandy Mayer, Isaiah quickly exceled in the sport and earned a partial scholarship to play for Biola University. At Biola, Isaiah played #1 doubles and #2 singles, and was named to the NAIA Academic All-District team for a combination of academic and athletic achievements.
During his summer breaks, Isaiah discovered his love for coaching when he coordinated clinics at local student programs - Peninsula Covenant Community Center and Ravenswood Youth Athletic Association. After college, Isaiah continued helping students enjoy and excel in sports as a Physical Education teacher, soccer coach, coach of Lick-Wilmerding High School Boys Tennis Team, and most recently as a pro at Broadway Tennis Center.
Working with players of all ages, he enjoys finding creative ways to engage his students in fun lesson plans that bring out their best.
Away from the court, Isaiah is a professional violinist, regularly playing events throughout the bay area, and has just released his second album of original pieces. He also loves to spend time with his wife and daughter, and play any sports that come his way.

The tournament gave our young athletes an opportunity to play in a slightly more competitive environment than weekly lessons provide.
Trophies
Players enjoyed playing hard, getting sweaty, and earning their trophies.
In order to keep the focus on friendly competition and sports and life skills, instead of trophies for Most Matches Won, trophies were awarded for Most Effort, Most Encouraging, Most Adaptable, Best Communicator, Kindest, Most Enthusiasm

"We tried Coach Stacy this summer and my kids absolutely loved her! She makes classes fun, but still manages to teach them great skills at the same time. She's positive, fun, easy to schedule and patient. My kids love going to tennis class and in already a few classes we've seen such a difference. I highly recommend her!"- Reshma P.
