What Our Students Say

Lesson photo shared by Jennifer Cho
★★★★★

Our 12-year old daughter had two lessons with Coach Kota while we were traveling through Sapporo, and we were pleased with the whole experience. Kota brought intensity and intention to these lessons, and our daughter, who is a competitive player back in the U.S., really enjoyed hitting with and learning from him. Kota was also kind and professional, and made it very easy to book lessons and court time. Thank you for making our visit to Sapporo even more memorable!

Outstanding teacher and excellent facility. He really helped me work out high volleys and backhand slice down the line. He himself is an excellent player as well. He is very attentive and speaks English.
