Meet Frances!
I’m a freshman at the University of Richmond and a member of the travel club tennis team. In high school, I competed in USTA tournaments and played four years on the New Trier varsity team, which won back-to-back state championships. As team captain my senior year, I helped lead our team to another state title.

I’ve played tennis my whole life and love sharing my passion for the game with players of all ages and skill levels! I’m from Winnetka and have three younger brothers — John (17), Tripp (15), and Jack (9). I enjoyed giving lessons last summer and I cant wait to kickoff summer 2026! Whether you are wanting to learn from the ground up, become a better tournament player, prepare for tryouts, or even just have hitting partner, I can provide it all!

Frances was absolutely wonderful to work with. She helped our daughter prepare for her freshman tennis tryouts, and the progress she made was incredible. Our daughter had so much fun during every session while gaining confidence and significantly improving her skills. It was an all-around amazing and positive experience — we can’t recommend Frances highly enough!
