Move Your Feet Sports Staff: Robert Owens & Matt Muhsam
The way we differentiate our program from others is through its selection of the highest standard of instructional staff. Our instructors will infuse excitement, motivation and fun into all the drills and classes. We hope that the players who participate in our program have a genuine interest in playing tennis and want to maximize their potential. It is through the caliber of our instructors that we will fulfill that promise to the students.
