Our Coaching Philosophy

Tennis is highly complex and demanding, requiring its athletes to bring an elite level of athleticism, intelligence, fitness, and mental discipline in order to be competitive at the upper echelons of the sport.

It is our goal to inspire an ethic of hard work and intensity and a passion for the sport, within which we intentionally guide each player to develop an understanding of how to capitalize on their unique strengths while also edifying their weaknesses.

We teach our players how to analyze a situation and select correct strategic choices, as well as how to execute under pressure.

As strategy, technical ability, mental toughness, and fitness all go hand in hand, we plan to incorporate a blend of drilling, situational point play, and supervised set and tournament play to develop versatile players that can withstand the rigors of competition.

It is here that we equip our players with the physical and mental tools necessary to handle the adversity they face every time they step out onto the court.

Why Take Tennis Lessons?

Tennis is a great activity to maintain and grow your health, fitness, strength, and agility in shape. It offers social and psychological advantages as well.

As a social activity, you can play with friends and family on our private indoor tennis courts or outside on courts. Tennis is a sport that may be played competitively, by entering in tournaments, or recreationally on weekends and evenings.

Picking up a tennis racquet and merely striking the ball isn’t enough. Instruction includes proper grips, technique, footwork patterns, balance and hitting positions, by a certified coach. Proper instruction makes learning the fundamentals of tennis much more enjoyable, plus there are many long-term advantages; physical and mental development!

The fundamental goal of Basha Tennis is to have fun, and to grow! We design beginning tennis lessons around exercises and activities to help children and adults develop skills like accuracy, consistency, and court awareness – all while having a great time doing so! We aim to make playing patterns and pattern recognition second nature with repetition.

Group tennis lessons are great for players of all ages and abilities. We offer Juniors (ages four to 18) and Adults (all ages) classes to better hone one’s skills. Classes are organized based on skill level to ensure players develop at a consistent pace.

Have you ever taken a private tennis lesson and smashed amazing backhands or blasted strong serves but couldn’t duplicate your performance in a match?

A private lesson, assists you in accomplishing two goals: acquiring and/or enhancing a skill and then maintaining that skill. Our highly-skilled coaches design lessons to help you learn with your preferred learning style reinforcing the skill when it matters most, during match play.

We focus on correcting tennis technique, building consistency, and developing positive routines to perform better in competition. We also promote good lifestyle habits and can provide feedback on match results (live in-play critique – what happened and why).

The more you play, the more the tension in your racket strings changes. The instructors at Basha Tennis are qualified to execute custom re-stringing on your racket to bring it back in shape and improve its performance.

Your game will stay in top shape if you restring your racket regularly, especially if you notice it’s losing its “punch.” When the tension in your strings decreases, your strings stretch more upon impact, softening the ball’s landing and reducing the “squashing effect” of your racket’s design. This results in a lack of control and erratic play. Restring your favorite tennis racket several times a year to keep your game at its best.

In order to place the ball on the court with the spin and pace you want, you must have a proper grip on your racket. Because players tend to grasp more hard on an undersized grip, a grip that is not of the right size increases your chances of missed shots. Striking a tennis ball with a poor grip makes it harder to control your shots, reduces your chances of making firm contact, and delivering a firm impact.

Mountlake Terrace-Seattle

Mountlake Terrace is a suburb of Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It is 13 miles north of Seattle and is located on the county’s southern border, near to Shoreline and Lynnwood.

In the 2019 census, the city had a population of 21,338 people. Mountlake Terrace, which was founded in 1954 and named by the city’s vistas of Mount Rainier and Lake Washington, provides residents with a convenient location, excellent transit choices, recreation, parks, trails, and first-rate schools.

North Seattle is a wonderful place to live, work, and play. There are countless family-oriented activities in and around the Mountlake Terrace area. Here are some of our favorite things to do and places to visit.

The Space Needle is a beloved Seattle icon and one of the world’s most recognized structures. The futuristic design of the tower was motivated by the concept that the fair required a building to embody humanity’s Space Age goals. It was built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Century 21 Exposition, whose theme was “The Age of Space.” The landmark has continued to reflect Seattle’s inventive and forward-thinking culture since its grand inauguration on April 21, 1962.

One of Seattle’s most popular parks is Green Lake. Thousands of people come from all over the city every day to enjoy the breadth of water and green space in the heart of a congested urban area. Hundreds of different tree and plant species, as well as countless birds and waterfowl, call the park home. The 2.8-mile trail that round the lake is ideal for runners, cyclists, skateboarders, and walkers.

Pike Place Market is a unique neighborhood in Seattle’s central district. Pike Place Market is more than just the city’s famed public market; it’s a thriving neighborhood with hundreds of farmers, artisans, small businesses, and residents. The Pike Place Neighborhood is made up of several different groups, each of which is essential and crucial. The Pike Place Market was chartered by the City of Seattle to provide services for low-income individuals, in addition to preserving and protecting the historic buildings and character of the nine-acre historic district and serving as an incubator and supporter of farmers, artisans, and small businesses.

There are a number of places in which you can go in order to learn the game of tennis. There are online marketplaces that connect students to instructors of all different skill levels. Often these types of lessons take place at a public park with tennis facilities. You’ll also find that tennis clubs, like the one here at Forest Crest, have lessons for all ages that are provided by their resident pro and staff.
