Gunterman Tennis Schools specializes in creating tailored instruction programs for people of all ages and abilities at two lush locations, the tropical sunshine of Amelia Island Plantation in Florida and the green mountains of Summit Lodge near Killington, Vermont. The staff of certified professionals is led by Kelly Gunterman, who is a former collegiate competitor who trained and taught with legends John Newcombe and Peter Burwash. He has helped improve the tennis skills of more than 15,000 people from Hawaii and Texas to Virginia and Vermont. Travel and tennis magazines consistently provide excellent reviews of Gunterman Tennis Schools, which offers fine tennis facilities and the latest equipment at both locations. Town & Country wrote that Gunterman Tennis Schools “has the best reputation for tennis,” and Travel & Leisure has listed the school in “The Guide to the Best Tennis Schools.”

Tennis Without Borders
A not-for-profit organization, Tennis without Borders offers scholarships and assistance with school fees to young tennis students in developing countries. “A few years ago my wife and I went to Uganda to teach tennis, and I realized how little the developing nations have in all aspects of their lives, and that they have almost nothing when it comes to tennis equipment,” Gunterman said. “I am excited that the release of my first book will support Tennis Without Borders and will hopefully provide opportunities to tennis students throughout the world.”
