One advantage of living on Oahu’s north shore is the opportunity to be near the David Edgar Tennis Academy. The academy has many programs suited for all levels of play, from beginner to pro. Join one of the many clinics offered and you will get the opportunity to meet the friendly local north shore players. Most programs or clinics offer something for everyone. One thing that I really like about the clinics is the way that David Edgar can cater to all that join. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a well seasoned player, you are guarenteeed a good time.

You can schedule to “beat the pro”,but you better bring your best game, or hope that David is having a rare off day.

The junior/pee wee program is a growing program that is not only limited to north shore, but island wide. Juniors have been known to travel from various parts of the island just to learn and grow at the David Edgar Tennis Academy. One of the star players is Tiffany DeVincent , who was a top ranked high school player and now plays at Chaminade University. It’s fun to stop by and watch David help the junior players blossom into fierce competetors.

Stop by and you can usually view their top players working out on the courts. Don’t feel intimidated to just ask one of them to hit with you. You can always call one of the friendly tennis shop staff for a player match up, check on clinic times,or even schedule a private lesson. During the week you can call Kiki-who knows the true meaning of “aloha spirit”. She is always more that willing to go that extra mile to make sure that you will have the best time. On the weekends you can call Lucia. Lucia is very friendly and has a very contagious laugh.

So if you are planning a circle island tour, make sure to add the David Edgar Tennis Academy to your list of “things to do”
