Testimonials

"My son attends a…rival…tennis academy, and has had occasion to play a couple of Hobson Academy players in both singles and in doubles. You should be aware that the Hobson players, regardless of skill level, are two of the best sports I’ve personally seen. Ever. In any sport. Both make calls that are exceedingly fair. I don’t hear them complain or fuss. Their sense of fair play far exceeds their years, and reflects extremely positively on your program.

I’ve heard many parents fuss and complain over the last year about tournaments and this and that, and, well, I just wanted to take a moment and reflect on something that’s “right” about the sport." - Thomas


"Both children have been immersed in this "tennis world" for the past two years. I have seen what is available and know that Hobson Performance Tennis Academy carries a reputation of setting lofty goals, working hard, being respectful and disciplined not only towards the game, but as an attitude towards life's goals in general. Our American youth are drowning in a culture of self-absorption and immediate gratification many times in meaningless endeavors. My husband and I appreciate all that you do to set a different "tone" at the academy." - Sue


"My son has also in the past attended one of the best known tennis academies in Florida. His Hobson experience was far better. He got lots of personal attention at Hobson. They know my son and care about him and that makes a big difference." - Ed

Letter of Recommendation from Dan O'Connell

"We have come to know Ashley as an outstanding mentor to both our boys, dedicated to extending each individual in his squad of players to his full potential. Our oldest son was ranked #178 in Georgia when starting at the academy and within the space of one year jumped to #6 in the 18s. Ashley accomplishes the high standards he sets himself, is effective, very disciplined and has great integrity, whilst at the same time relates well to his players." - Hilton and Gayle


"Thanks for what you all have done for both my kids! You have a wonderful program. It says something about the program when the kids don’t have to be told to go to practice. They want to go and look forward to it and to have something that teenagers look forward to other than socializing says a lot for the academy." - Stephanie


"I want to say thanks to you and your staff for such a great job you doing with the kids. Marcus likes it a lot not only because of the great tennis instruction but also because of the whole atmosphere and the attitude and personalities of all the other academy members. We got 2 weeks of driving across town behind us and it is well worth it!" - Erich


"I wanted to thank you for the few summers that you and Dawn watched over me. You were somebody I really looked up to and were like a second father to me during those times. You improved my tennis game but even more importantly my character, my attitude, and my discipline. The time I spent at your academy was truly the most enjoyable of my tennis career. I only wish I could have spent more time there with you and Chris as my coaches." - Tyler
