“It’s also great to have someone with Steve’s playing ability and teaching experience living right here with us and interacting with us on a daily basis.”

“The small groups into which you are placed allows for maximum observation, practice and play time.”

"Since Steve Vaughan instituted the Spaces not Faces strategy into his teaching program, my game has been greatly enhanced. One more element of attack or offense. I have enjoyed my lessons this year and am excited to have this new weapon in my arsenal."

“Fran, thanks for arranging the Island Tour, it was great fun! Especially the trip up the mountain road – even the switchbacks had switchbacks!”

“I have been taking private and group lessons for 10 years with Steve Vaughan and learn new ideas and strengths with each workout.”

"I would like to highly recommend Steve Vaughn‘s current Spaces Not Faces coaching program. This winter I participated in nine weeks of semi-private lessons focusing on ball placement (as opposed to just returning the shot), and it has helped me immensely! I feel it has greatly upped my game, but it’s comments from the people I play with that have noticed the improvement in my game as a result of Steve’s direction that has has been so satisfying. It REALLY works!"

"My tennis group and I at Deep Canyon Tennis Club have been working on our doubles tennis games with Steve Vaughan for many years. Every new season, he introduces one or more new tennis concepts for us to incorporate into our games. A couple of years ago, he brought in the strategy of “spaces not faces.” The theory is not to hit right to the person on the other side of the net and give them an easy put-away shot. Make them move and then open up a new space for yourself or your partner to try to win the point. It is very effective when properly executed. It is also a good confidence builder when you are able to make the ultimate winning shot. Thank you Steve for continually coming up with fresh ideas to help us, or new ways to think about shot making. Can’t wait to see what you bring next year."
