Level-Up Tennis is a tennis coaching business based at Browns Bay Racquets Club, at 4 Woodlands Crescent in Browns Bay, Auckland. Its coaches work with players of all abilities, from beginners to those aiming for competitive play. The business says it sees tennis as a route to personal growth, and it puts respect, good sportsmanship and a positive attitude at the centre of its coaching.
The lead coach, Chris, has more than 20 years' coaching experience in the United States and New Zealand. The website says he co-directed Sparta Tennis, described as New Zealand's largest and most successful tennis academy, from 2015 to 2024, and that he has held senior roles at academies in the US and at NCAA Division I and II colleges. The website also lists players he has coached to national championships and into college tennis. His focus will be the academy classes, with some adult sessions and work with the Browns Bay Racquets Club's tennis committee. For a player who wants structured coaching from someone with that background, the academy classes at Browns Bay are the practical way to start.
