understanding what the sport of tennis can offer your child. We encourage this process by creating a goal oriented path that will not only build your young tennis player but also nurture their education and character!

 

Youth that participate in Sugar Creek's tennis program will build integrity,
self-control, devotion to fitness, patience, optimism, persistence, fairness and much more. Our goal is to provide your young athlete with the skills that will eventually pave their own paths of success. Let our history of tennis excellence continue with you. 

Our tennis program was built through the efforts of Coach Rocky under the direction of Terry Alexander. Coach Rocky has been teaching tennis for over 10 years. He is USPTA and PTR Professionally Certified, Insured and SafePlay approved. Coach Rocky is full of energy and creative ideas to bring out the best in all our players. Coach Rocky played college tennis at Morehouse and he has been a Volunteer Coach at Morehouse since 2019. Coach Rocky is also a staff tennis professional at Greater Atlanta Christian School so his love of coaching tennis cross over many cultures and backgrounds.
 

Coach Rocky has also been the Tennis Program Director for 2 years under the 501(c)(3) recognized Non-Profit Organization, Atlanta-Rio de Janeiro Sister Cities Foundation. He is actively writing for grants, seeking donations that will help his tennis initiatives at Sugar Creek grow so youth have full access to the sport despite their family's income status. His efforts through the work being done within the non-profit sector will also support the program with new balls, proper equipment and growth in coaching staff. 

 

Aside from his work with the non-profit that is synchronized with his efforts at Sugar Creek, Coach Rocky has aligned himself with American Tennis Association through various volunteer work. Currently, Coach Rocky is President of the American Tennis Association South (ATA South), he hopes to establish a network across the south to connect other tennis programs within the ATA network to grow black and brown youth tennis like never before.
