Nadia Hitzman - Tennis Professional

Nadia Hitzman is thrilled to be joining the team and teaching at a club that holds such special memories for her.

Tennis has played a major role in her life since she began playing at the age of 12. Her passion for the sport led her to train at the prestigious John Newcombe Tennis Academy during part of her high school years.

She continued her tennis journey at Southeastern Louisiana University, where she competed at the collegiate level. After graduating, Nadia transitioned into coaching, most recently teaching at the Avila Golf and Country Club in Tampa, Florida.

Now back home, Nadia is grateful for the opportunity to share her love for the game with the community that helped shape her. Whether working with beginners or experienced players, she looks forward to helping others grow their skills, enjoy the game, and make lasting memories on the court.
