About Tall Socks Tennis

What Makes Us Different

At Tall Socks Tennis, our mission is simple:

To create a positive learning environment that helps every person become a better athlete, a better player, and a better version of themselves.

We believe tennis is more than a sport — it’s a lifelong skill that builds confidence, character, and community. Whether you’re five or 75, just starting or playing competitively, you belong here.

 

I started TST because I saw the need for inclusive, thoughtful coaching that emphasizes both personal growth and technical excellence. Our goal is to make tennis more accessible, more fun, and more impactful for every player who steps on our courts.

Testimonials

What our players are saying

"As an older adult player, I've learned a lot from the TST men's and mixed doubles clinics. Taylor and her expert team of coaches focus on movement, technique, skills, and strategy with demanding drills and active skills application through match play."
Russell Palmer
“We’ve been training with Taylor and her talented coaches for years and love the consistent, high-level instruction. Taylor is a very dedicated coach that truly cares about her clients and their growth as players
Amy Norris
"I feel comfortable asking questions and know that the coach will provide valuable feedback in each setting! Taylor works diligently to provide lesson plans and new learning opportunities for all of her students. She is always positive and looking for ways to help each individual take their game to the next level!
Jennifer Johnston
"TST is truly a family affair! Our first child began in middle school to provide more opportunities for peer match play, now I’m participating in adult clinics while our five-year-old and eleven-year-old have joined classes. Taylor has a true gift for teaching the sport to all ages. Her programs make tennis both accessible and enjoyable for everyone."
