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.

Our History

Basha Tennis was established September 20, 2010 in Chandler, AZ, where we contracted with the Chandler Tennis Center to provide exceptional adult and youth tennis programming and competitive junior programming. We also contracted with the PGA Tour Super Store to provide all tennis programming for their facility. Additionally, we worked with the Chandler Unified School District and Phoenix USTA to provide tennis in the schools and after-school programs.

In October 2013, we were invited to oversee and operate tennis programming for Forest Crest Tennis club, with the goal of reestablishing Forest Crest as the Seattle area’s premiere destination for high-quality, high-value tennis instruction and programming. We provide all of Forest Crest’s tennis activities, including; Adult and Junior clinics and private lessons, USTA teams, Seattle Cup teams, Flights, special events, racquet customization and stringing.

Everett, Washington

In the 1920s, additional interurban rail and highway bridges were built, converting the region into a major economic center, and Paine Field was built in 1936. Following WWII, the city’s economy shifted away from timber and toward aerospace, with the opening of Boeing’s aircraft assembly factory at Paine Field in 1967. Everett gained more industrial and commercial growth as a result of Boeing’s presence, as well as new residential districts to the south and west of the peninsula that the city annexed. Boeing, together with the US Navy, which has run Naval Station Everett since 1994, is the city’s major employer.

Everett is a key employment hub in Snohomish County, but it has also evolved into a Seattle bedroom city in recent decades. Interstate 5 connects it to Seattle, and Everett Station offers a variety of public transportation options, including the Sounder commuter rail, Amtrak, and commuter buses. Everett has a number of yearly events and is home to a minor league sports franchise, the Everett Silvertips, who play at Angel of the Winds Arena.

What Everett is Known For

The Boeing Everett Factory is an aircraft assembly plant in Everett, WA established by airplane manufacturer Boeing. It occupies 98.7 acres and is located at the northeast corner of Paine Field. It has the world’s biggest building by volume and the complex is located on both sides of State Route 526. Built in 1967 for the Boeing 747, the plant has subsequently been enlarged numerous times to accommodate other airliners, notably the 767, 777, and 787 projects.

The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum is a non-profit committed to preserving and displaying historic military aircraft, tanks, and other military equipment. Military relics from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Soviet Union, and Japan rotate among the three functional hangars. The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum is located on Paine Field in Everett, Washington, and is housed in three functional hangars. Mechanics are usually on-site Monday through Friday, working to keep the technology in good working order. Guided tours are available seven days a week, and the museum includes 90″ touch-screens, battle simulations, and life-size reproductions. The museum also has a parachuting dog display, as well as unusual animal artifacts and animals involved in wartime wars.

A child’s social and intellectual development is aided by unstructured and directed play. At Imagine Children’s Museum, there’s a lot of learning and developing while doing what every kid enjoys most… playing! The interactive displays and activities inspire children and their families (ages one to 12) to role play, explore, splash, ponder, roam, and create together in a physically and emotionally secure environment.

At Imagine, every kid and family deserves to spend time together playing. The museum tries to ensure that all families have access to the fun by offering free entrance on certain days and cheap memberships. Imagine works to improve the community by providing a resource for schools, family assistance groups, and other local NGOs with the shared objective of improving the lives of children.

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.

Basha Tennis offers lessons at Forest Crest in the city of Mountlake Terrace and serves neighboring areas.
