Marty has been an excellent, patient, and informative instructor for my wife and I! I am a complete tennis beginner while my wife has some experience; Marty was able to adapt his teaching methods for both of us, and provided us with the fundamental instruction that we needed to pick up and play immediately while forming good foundational habits. I'd highly recommend him to anyone considering starting lessons!

Marty is a rare find in a coach. I was a college tennis player who took over a decade off after knee injuries and having kids. I came on the court so inconsistent but after just three lessons in the week I stayed at Bayside, Marty helped me bring back my forehand, serve, and gave me a ton of tips to take with me into my tennis game. So appreciative of Marty. Wish he was closer so that I could keep taking lessons from him! If you’re considering lessons with him, look no further, and get out there! You won’t regret it!

Marty is highly experienced professional who is excellent at diagnosing and correcting the little things that can make a big impact in one’s game. He is also terrific with kids, and has a great sense of humor and rapport with his clients!!

We had a wonderful week of lessons with Coach Marty! He showed me how to improve my serve grip, add spin to my forehand and backhand, and how to slice! He also coached my 16-year-old to prep him for an upcoming tournament, providing him with great tips on adding variety to his game as well as giving him (and his dad) a super workout. I highly recommend lessons with Coach Marty! He is a positive and encouraging tennis professional, and he will improve your game no matter what level you are.

My daughters grew so much in just two days of lessons with Marty - he is the best! He approached them with humor, kindness, and a great awareness of the game as well as their individual skill sets. Could not recommend Marty’s lessons more highly!

What a fantastic teacher! My daughter had several tennis lessons with Marty, and I joined her for one of them. I love Marty's straightforward approach to skills, his encouraging style, and his overall attitude. As beginners, both my daughter and I appreciated his advice to take it nice and easy so that you can actually play with your partner instead of running after balls the whole time. I highly recommend Marty!

Marty is an excellent coach. I am taking lessons as a beginner to tennis. Each lesson is challenging but ends with a sense of improvement and accomplishment. He is encouraging, gives detailed tweaks to form, and always has an analogy or simplification. It has been a great joy to be able to learn from him!

Marty is the best! He’s been giving my three young boys lessons (pickleball and tennis) for the past few years. He got them hooked on racquet sports and excited to play every time we visit the area. I’ve also done clinics with Marty and love the workout. Highly recommend for a good fun time no matter what age!

Our children love Coach Marty. They have been taught by many coaches, and Marty is their favorite. We love that he focuses on technical skills. He is also very effective with kids, they just improved so much after they started being taught by Marty.

Absolutely phenomenal experience with Coach Marty! From the moment I started lessons, it was clear that he possesses not only incredible skill and knowledge of tennis but also a true passion for teaching. The progress I’ve made under his guidance is remarkable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. If you’re looking to elevate your tennis skills, Coach Marty is the best in the business. Highly recommended!

I've done clinics and private lessons with Marty, gaining a few transformative gems each time. He has a great sense of humour, making tennis fun. Marty has a keen eye for detail in stroke mechanics. I continue to hear his tips in my mind, and use drills he suggested. He is able to meet the player where she/he is, and help them to improve. I highly recommend lessons with Marty for any level player, beginner to advanced, who wants to have fun and play better.

Marty teaches my kids tennis- he is the best coach my kids ever had- they learned a lot in just after few lessons... Marty is very keen on details specially on development of strokes and serves, efficiency of movement, court awareness etc... his emphasis is on long term development of skills ....equally important - he makes sure that my kids are having fun!

Phenomenal instructors! My family has come such a long way in both tennis and pickleball because of their instruction. And they make it really fun (and funny!) at the same time which has kept my kids wanting to go to lessons and my wife and I wanting to go watch. Highly recommended. Thanks Marty!

Julius Green

June 2024

I was introduced to tennis at the age of 61 by Coach Marty. He spotted me watching and invited me to join and offered me a racquet. Marty is an outstanding teacher pushing his students to focus on fundamentals. Over a relatively short time with Coach Marty and Rich’s help I have become a 3.0 player. More importantly I have been having a blast playing a new sport into retirement. I highly recommend Marty to tennis players at any level. 🎾

Marty is an experienced and passionate instructor. He makes in fun to participate and is great with all ages from kids to retirees.

Sarah Culver

June 2024

Coach Marty is an absolute dream. His unique and effective coaching style puts as much emphasis on character as it does on athletic skill; he is unmatched in his knowledge and expertise in tennis but also in his ability to bring out the BEST in kids. After years of trying different sports and activities with my son (who has Asperger's and would *always* prefer to just be inside) I watched as Coach Marty not only made him a true lover of tennis but also a great teammate, encouraged him in a positive way to maintain eye contact, and set the example of how to be a gentleman both on AND off the court.

David Williams

Marty makes honing tennis skills approachable, productive, and fun! Love coming to his lessons every summer.

Kate Neri

There aren’t enough words to describe the amazing person and coach that Marty is. Patient, positive, fun and kind are just a few. His knowledge and love of tennis is clear as he is able to make you feel more confident in your game and love doing it. I took private lessons with him for a Summer three mornings a week and now feel so confident in my ability to play with seasoned athletes. My children also took lessons and adore him - even asking for him in the off season. He will leave a mark on your game and your heart!
