I signed her up for the entire summer, and she also took a couple of private lessons each week. My hope was simply that she would learn enough to feel confident enough to try out for her high school tennis team. Branson and Monty coached her throughout the summer and prepared her so incredibly well. They were patient, encouraging, and truly invested in helping her grow not just as a tennis player, but in her confidence, too. The best part? The tennis center became like a second home for her. She loved being there, loved learning, and built such a special connection with her coaches and the staff. Needless to say... SHE MADE THE TEAM! And the first people she wanted to tell were Branson and Monty. That honestly says everything. I'm so incredibly grateful to both of them and to the entire staff for caring for my kiddo, encouraging her, and helping her discover a sport she now loves. What an amazing summer.

They happen to have this Babolat tennis racket I've been thinking of buying and I was able to demo the racket in their facility. The courts were clean and in good condition.

We would definitely come back to Monterey Tennis Center when we come back into town again. Thank you Monty!!

Now, two years later, I keep coming back every week to paddle with this club. Our novice crews have a great time competing (and often winning) races across northern California and beyond. By the end of my second year paddling, ​I was honored to paddle with club members in the 2017 Monterey Bay Crossing, from Santa Cruz to Monterey. Members and guests alike learn the history and heritage of outrigger canoe paddling, get treated to unique views of our gorgeous peninsula​ and wildlife, and get great exercise. Guest paddlers from other parts of the state and around the world are always welcomed. Recreational paddling (open to the public and geared toward beginners) happens​ every 1st and 3rd Sunday, 8:00am, at the Monterey Municipal Beach (next to Monterey Bay Kayaks shop).
