Court-Play LLC was founded in 2025 in Naples, Florida, with the goal of making tennis accessible, enjoyable, and inclusive for players of all ages and abilities.
What started as a small local tennis program has grown into a community-focused business offering lessons for children, adults, and individuals with unique learning and physical needs. We have built our program around small-group instruction, allowing each player to receive personalized attention while learning in a fun and supportive environment.
One of our most meaningful accomplishments has been expanding our services to include adaptive tennis instruction for children with autism and individuals with disabilities. In 2026, Court-Play became an approved provider with the Step Up For Students (EMA/FES-UA) scholarship program, allowing eligible families to use scholarship funds for tennis instruction.
Court-Play was created from my passion for tennis and my desire to share the sport with others. Tennis has always been an important part of my life and my family's life, and I believe it is one of the best sports for building confidence, discipline, healthy habits, and lasting friendships.
After moving to Naples, I saw an opportunity to create a tennis program that focused not only on skill development but also on creating a welcoming and supportive environment for players of all ages and abilities. My goal was to offer small-group lessons where every player receives individual attention and feels encouraged to learn at their own pace.
As the program grew, I began working with children with autism and other unique learning needs. That experience showed me how powerful tennis can be as a tool for personal growth, social interaction, and confidence building. It inspired me to expand Court-Play's mission to include adaptive tennis instruction and more inclusive opportunities for the community.
Today, Court-Play is truly a family project. My daughter works alongside me as an assistant coach, and together we strive to create positive experiences both on and off the court. Our mission is simple: help people enjoy tennis, stay active, gain confidence, and become part of a supportive tennis community.
Team
Court-Play is a family-operated business led by me, Daniel, a PTR-certified tennis coach with a passion for helping players of all ages and abilities enjoy the game of tennis.
I am supported by my daughter, Marina, who serves as an assistant coach during many of our lessons. Marina helps with drills, player engagement, and on-court activities, creating a fun and welcoming environment for younger players.
Together, we focus on providing personalized instruction, maintaining small class sizes, and helping every player develop skills, confidence, and a lifelong love for the game. We believe that learning tennis should be both enjoyable and rewarding, and we strive to make every lesson a positive experience.
Mission
What makes Court-Play different is our commitment to personalized instruction and creating a welcoming environment where every player feels supported and encouraged.
Unlike larger programs, we intentionally keep our groups small, typically no more than six players per lesson. This allows us to provide individual attention, keep players active, and adapt instruction to each player's skill level and learning style.
We are a family-operated business, and we believe tennis should be enjoyable, inclusive, and accessible to everyone. Our programs serve children, adults, beginners, intermediate players, and individuals with unique learning or physical needs.
Court-Play is led by Daniel Eguren, a PTR-certified tennis coach who is passionate about helping players build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love for the game. We also offer adaptive tennis instruction and are an approved provider with the Step Up For Students (EMA/FES-UA) scholarship program, making our services accessible to more families.
Our goal is not only to teach tennis, but also to help players stay active, develop confidence, make friends, and become part of a positive tennis community.
