Our tennis staff, all certified, have developed a well-rounded program of lessons, clinics,
leagues and social tennis activities for adults and juniors of all ability levels. La Camarilla is a proud recipient of the Phoenix area USTA award for Facility of the Year!.
Our Staff:
Roger Furman, USPTA certified, our Director of Tennis and
General Manager was recently recognized for his 20 years of
service to the game. Previous to joining La Camarilla,
he coached local, Missouri Valley, and nationally ranked
players at all age levels and was even selected to coach the
St. Louis National Junior City Team. Roger was a
former collegiate player and he brings the enthusiasm and
energy from those playing days into La Camarilla's tennis
programs. He was also very
active in the Adult Interclub League in St. Louis and lends
his coaching and organizational experience to La Camarilla.
Dayna Guizzetti Aside from being one of the top female players in the Phoenix area, Dayna's playing resume includes a full scholarship to Seattle University where she played the #1 position for her college team that consistently won the National District title and was ranked #6 nationally. She is a USPTA Profesional but also brings experience as a Head Pro, Director of Tennis in addition to her 12 years of coaching. With both Junior and Adult level programming experience, Dayna is a welcome force in our ever expanding junior offerings.
Cory Rockow is another full time USPTA certified pro on our staff. Cory is not only an accomplished player on the court where he was nationally ranked as a junior and All-Conference while at college; but, he also performed on the academic side of college as a consistent member of the Academic Dean's List. Cory's history already includes five years of teaching tennis. His discipline and tremendous ability to communicate has enabled him to not only be a great addition for private lessons but helped him immediately join into team teaching, camp and group program settings.
As our programs grow we'll continue to bring in top quality, certified professionals like to bolster our staff which is already recognized as one of the best in the Valley.

ADULT INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS & SCHEDULE
Classes begin the Week of JUNE 15TH, 2009. Classes begin every 8 weeks year round.
3 Steps to Success and Fun
Step 1
Beginner Tennis: 8 weeks of good basic work on all tennis
strokes and playing rules.

Stroke Development: 8 weeks for those just out of the
beginner class or with a little playing experience who want
to become more proficient.
Step 3
Drill Class: For 1 1/2 hours, our pro staff will push
players through a series of drills. Hitting hundreds of
balls, players will be solidifying their strokes and
learning how, when and where to apply them. Ideal as a third
step in our teaching program, for those getting back after a
layoff, or for a more proficient player wanting consistent
instruction.
A Class for Everyone
Cardio Tennis: For those who want a high cardio exercise and
to work on their tennis strokes. Though limited in
instruction, this class provides a high intensity work out
along with hitting hundreds of balls. All levels are
welcome.
