In two years he won already the juniors and adult championships at his club and a year later he made the national junior team and represented Israel in Germany.

After completing his three year military duty he settled down in the US and continued pursuing his tennis ambitions by coaching and simultaneously  competing on the US and European tour.

His best win came in 1983 in doubles over Shlomo Glickstein who was the French open doubles finalist a year later, and also was 22 on the ATP in singles.

Lack of sponsors and after running out of funds, just like many other pros coaching was the inevitable alternative.

Working in Several clubs in the valley and  LA Gabe has established himself as a prominent pro by winning the USPTA pro of the year twice and producing many college players, he also got to work with ATP  and WTA players such as Dan Dan- China fed. Cup, Nir Welgreen – ATP 160.

At age of 35 Gabe has returned to competition on the senior tour. Staying fit was quite handy leading to high So Cal ranking, US national ranking and number 5 I.T.F  ranking.  Winning the Macabia gold medal (1986), the sectionals in So.Cal, and reaching semi finals twice in I.T.F  world championships were some of his best accomplishments.

Gabe is looking forward to share with you a life span of coaching and playing experience and ready to assist you with your tennis aspirations.

Jason Youmazzo

Instructor

I specialize in age-grade athletic coaching and instruction with an emphasis on strength, cycling and yoga. As a coach my belief is that the physical and mental need to be in sync for optimized performance/change. That hard work is critical but not at the expense of the self and the relationships with others. I also hold true that we can accomplish much more than we think we can and that the limits we set are mirages which can be overcome.
I attended the Olympics Training Center and spent my early 20's racing bicycles across North America and retired from the sport at age 24. Since then I have coached and participated in age-grade athletics.
Having a well rounded base of knowledge is important and in addition to my training certifications I have obtained a 200 Yoga certification, this allows me to support a deep mind body connection along with breathing and movement patterns that help both the athlete and fitness enthusiast in all of us.
My focus is on bringing a balanced, fun and a safe experience to fitness experience.
