Hello my name is Al Archuleta and I am a local Colorado Springs tennis coach with over 25 years of teaching experience and over 10 years of playing experience! I started coaching tennis when I was 15 as a sophomore in high school. I worked in at Albuquerque Country Club as the Assistant Club Pro for over a year and the club pro had me work with all 14 and under club members. I learned a lot then about teaching from the club pro which helped me also become a better player. I was certified as a USPTA Tennis Professional back in 1987.

Next, at age 21, I was hired as the head tennis instructor at the Mountainside YMCA. I taught juniors and adults in private and semi-private lessons and organized men’s and women’s competitive tennis leagues. I also was the Boys Head Tennis Coach at the local High School and the Girls Head Tennis Coach at a neighboring city. At age 26, I started my own tennis instruction business in the same small town, working mostly with juniors in private, semi-private, and group lessons, junior clinics, junior leagues, and some private adult lessons as well for over 6 years. I have worked as a Head Club Pro for a summer in Colorado, an assistant club pro in Nebraska and I founded and directed an 18 and under tennis tournament "The Belen Gold Cup" located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

For the past several years, I have been instructing children, teens, and adults in private and semi-private lessons in Albuquerque. In all, I have over 25 years of tennis coaching, teaching, and instructing experience as well as 4 years of competitive tennis play. I specialize in 4.5 NTRP level and under and would love to work with you as your Colorado Springs tennis coach and especially find youth and adults who love the game! I graduated summa cum laude in my bachelors studies in Coaching and Psychology and Magna cum laude in my Masters studies in Human Services Counseling and Coaching.

I am available to give tennis lessons locally around Colorado Springs at a court near you and I am also willing to travel up to 20 miles. Please feel free to contact me via text at 719-453-4725 or you can leave a voicemail message as I probably won't answer my phone until I know you are not a salesperson ;-), or email me at info@findmytennislessons.com and then I will contact you back within 24 hours to introduce myself, answer any questions and if you are interested, set-up your first tennis lesson at a time and place that is convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you and I look forward to the opportunity to be your tennis coach. I hope to see you on the court!

Tennis Coach
What some happy tennis players have to say:  

"He is just an excellent tennis coach. I started working with him in July 2021.  He guided me to greatly improved ground strokes through consistency, variety, and accurate placement. He reworked my pathetic serve into something I’m proud of. His knowledge of tennis is vast-his ability to adapt to student needs is impressive."

- Kevin Murphy, 75

"His positive attitude and infectious energy make each lesson a pleasure to attend." 

- David King, 42

"My two children received lessons from Al. They enjoyed his lessons and learned many skills from him! Al is very knowledgeable of tennis and is able to teach children of any age or skill level from beginner to advanced. He is passionate about teaching the skills needed to play tennis! My family highly recommends Coach Al!"

- Parent of 7 and 11 year old
