Francisco Montana

Head Coach / C.E.O.

ph: 305.776.0672

For over thirty-five years Francisco has been involved in every aspect of tennis - from player to coach to club operator to tennis parent.

As a junior he was nationally ranked several years; in college he was "All S.E.C." while at The University of Florida; as an adult player he was twice ranked No. 1 in Florida in the men's 25 & over division, and earned high senior national rankings. It is in his teaching accomplishments, though, where most of his recognition resides. Francisco has helped develop three national champions, later tour-professionals, (sons Pablo and Francisco III, and Mary Jo Fernandez), and more than 50 of this area's top ranked juniors. Perhaps it is the intricate combination of this experience - successful player, coach, club operator, tennis parent, that has helped him earn the recognition as one of the nation's most knowledgeable and effective teaching professionals.
