Meet the Sedona tennis and pickleball pro team

For over 16 years and 15,000 hours, Grace has immersed herself as a dedicated student of the game. Grace competed at the highest of levels all her life, most recently with a winning streak of 25-0 and achieving a #1 ranking in the entire Southwest. Along with her tennis accomplishments, she is an undefeated pickleball player in both singles and doubles.

Grace's truest joy lies in being a coach. Her highest excitement is helping her students connect to their own personal best. Grace's teaching philosophy revolves around reaching one's potential by piecing the mental and physical game together with an emphasis on the significance of being fearless. She is passionate about bringing an inspired, fresh and specific vision for every player she works with. Grace is USPTA certified and was most recently the head tennis and pickleball pro at Enchantment Resort.

Lessons with Grace Hakopian were among the best lessons my son has ever had. She is efficient, has a great eye and intuits the right drills to promote change.

We adored Grace, she is an incredible pro - great ability to diagnose our issues and then give helpful corrections. She's really something! We'd come back to Sedona just for her.

-Jay L.

Grace is the BEST pickleball instructor ever. She is so knowledgeable and fun - she raised my game to the next level.

-Megan B.

I can't believe how much I was able to improve in just an hour with Grace. She brings the perfect energy to her lessons - calm, encouraging and supportive while challenging you just the right amount to improve your game.

Grace is awesome. My wife and I were behind the curve on the pickleball craze. Grace took us from the first timers to being confident to join in our local games back home. She is a great instructor and passionate about her job.

-Michael M.

I highly recommend coach Grace. I play tennis at an advanced level and I was able to get in a good workout and lessons with Coach Grace and George. My kids enjoyed taking lessons with them too while we were in Sedona.

George has studied the game of tennis with curious fervor for more than 14 years. He is currently the #1 ranked player in the Southwest. Since the very beginning of his tennis journey, George has been willing and enthusiastically ready to play anyone - anytime and anywhere. He simply loves the game and thoroughly embraces any opportunity to play it. Even as he continues to train and compete, George loves helping others with their own tennis adventures - whatever they may be; he is truly passionate about all things tennis and making it fun and accessible for all. George has an entrepreneurial spirit with many exciting projects already underway and he is also a bit of a virtuoso - if he isn't dazzling on court with his tennis strings, you may find him strumming the strings of his guitar in astounding and masterful ways.

George is currently a tennis pro at Enchantment Resort and specializes in the Beat the Pro experience.
