TTC's tennis program — junior and adult — is led by Coach Kareem Gobran, a Saddlebrook Academy product who trained alongside Pete Sampras and Andy Roddick and has placed dozens of players into Division I tennis. He also leads our junior pickleball development. Whether you're a junior just finding the game, an adult who wants serious clinic work, or a parent looking for the right path for your child, this is where you start.
Kareem Gobran began training at age 12 at Saddlebrook Academy, where he developed alongside world-class players including Pete Sampras and Andy Roddick. Mentored by renowned coach Alvaro Betancourt, he became a top junior in Florida and represented Egypt in major junior competitions including the Orange Bowl and Eddie Herr tournaments. An accident ended his competitive playing career — and started his life as one of Southern California's most respected developmental coaches.
Questions about the junior program, lesson scheduling, or evaluations are best handled directly. Coach Kareem responds personally.
