Welcome To EDT

At Eric Dobsha Tennis, we believe great player development is built on clarity, consistency, and people who care deeply about the process. Our programs are designed to support players over time—through real development, not shortcuts.

 

Operating across three North Tampa locations, EDT works with juniors and adults at every stage of their tennis journey. From players being introduced to the game for the first time to juniors training and competing on national and international stages, we focus on creating the right environment for progress—technically, athletically, and personally.

 

Our junior pathway is structured, intentional, and proven. Players develop through clearly defined stages that emphasize fundamentals, movement, decision-making, and competitive resilience. EDT players have gone on to compete in Junior Grand Slams, ITF events, national championships, and elite international tournaments, as well as earn collegiate opportunities in the U.S. and abroad.

 

Our coaching staff brings decades of combined experience as high-level juniors, collegiate athletes, and professional coaches, with firsthand experience preparing players for the demands of elite competition. Whether working with beginners or advanced athletes, the focus remains the same: do the daily work well and build players the right way.

Testimonials

"When our family decided to move to Tampa shortly after the start of the Covid pandemic, we sought recommendations for a tennis program for our tennis-addicted son, Jack. Several California coaches we admire suggested we contact Eric Dobhsa and Sukhwa Young at Eric Dobsha Tennis in Tampa. Trust us, they said. So we did. And it was the right decision. When our son, Jack Satterfield, arrived at Eric Dobsha Tennis in Tampa Florida in 2019 as a 12-year-old from California, he was not ranked in the top 100 of his Tennis Recruiting class. When he graduated from high school four-and-a-half years later, he was No. 5.  

 

He’s now at Vanderbilt University, and he has accomplished more than we ever imagined. Dobsha Tennis is not an academy or tennis factory, like some of its better-known counterparts in Florida. Rather, it’s a place where tennis is both serious and fun. It’s small enough that players get all the attention they need and large enough that players can experience a wide range of skill levels.

 

As a family, we felt fully invested in Dobsha Tennis, and we felt that Dobsha Tennis was – and remains - fully invested in our son.  

Most important, Dobsha Tennis doesn’t just teach young men and women how to play tennis, it teaches them how to become serious tennis players. We were not an experienced tennis family. Sukhwa and Eric guided us, and most importantly, guided our son Jack, through that world. There was no pressure on us or on Jack. The coaches showed us the options and provided all the support we needed or wanted. We ended up in places – Wimbledon, Roland Garros, for example – that we never expected to be. Most importantly, Eric and Sukhwa are good people. Their values are in the right place. They keep things fun, but they also demand that players give their best every day. They model good behavior and ensure that all players know that success only comes if you’re fully committed to showing up every day.  If you have a child who is passionate about tennis and committed to continued improvement, I can’t imagine a better place."
