BARRY LEVENSON / HEAD PROA COMPETITOR’S EYE.
A COACH’S PATIENCE.
Barry Levenson leads pickleball and tennis instruction at Rally Oaks, bringing a varsity tennis background at Cal Berkeley, USPTA certification and experience coaching top juniors.
His approach begins with understanding the player. What feels dependable? Where do points break down? What would you like to do with more confidence? The lesson connects those answers to technique, movement and smarter decisions.
Whether you are new to the sport, returning after time away or developing a more competitive game, the aim is the same: something useful to practice and something positive to take into your next match.

BEFORE YOUR LESSON
A FEW GOOD
QUESTIONS.
Do I need to be an experienced player?
No. A lesson can begin with the fundamentals or focus on a specific part of a more developed game. Tell Barry your experience and goals.
Can my child take tennis lessons?
Barry’s background includes experience coaching top juniors. Contact him to discuss the player’s age, experience, goals and an appropriate lesson arrangement.
Where do lessons take place?
Court location is agreed directly with Barry. A public-court listing on this website does not mean paid instruction is allowed there. Venue permissions and rules are checked before scheduling.
