PTR (formerly USPTR) teaching professional Patrick Anneet, born in Kinshasa, the Congo, and raised and educated in Belgium has been teaching tennis for over ten years. Starting a career in instructing and coaching tennis, was more than natural because tennis has been his passion since childhood. From a young age, Patrick played competitively in the Belgian tennis clubs leagues and ultimately achieved a national ranking. While pursuing his university studies in translation and education, Patrick started his coaching career in Belgium developing children programs (ages 4-8) and providing instruction through tennis clinics and training programs for junior and adults in private tennis clubs. Strongly motivated by his desire to pursue a career in teaching tennis in the United States, Patrick actively attended PTR seminars and conferences and obtained his teaching certification. Moving to California in 1998, Patrick served as a tennis teaching professional in a variety of settings, including tennis clubs, Westside schools and public tennis facilities. In 2003, Patrick took over the tennis operation at 2505 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica, California and founded Anneet Tennis, Inc. Having achieved his ambitious dream of running his own Tennis Center, Patrick aspires to share his enthusiasm and deep appreciation for the sport of tennis with all of his clients.
