New Tennis Pro at Barons Creek Club

Hello Barons Creek members. My name is Justin Cobb and I have just taken a position of teaching professional at Barons Creek Club. I born and raised in San Angelo, TX. and have only recently moved to Fredericksburg. I absolutely love this town and the hill country as it is gorgeous compairable to whare I am from.

So you may be asking yourself, "Who is this new guy?" Let me start by saying that I am a tennis pro with 18 years of teaching experience in the country club industry. I have coached players from 4 years to 90 years old and thousands in between. I have coached beginners, intermediate and advance players. I have developed players from the grass roots all the way to collegiate scholarships. I have taught in Austin at the Courtyard Tennis and Swim Club, Oak Hills Country Club in San Antonio, Bentwood Country Club in San Angelo, John Newcombe's Tennis Ranch and College Hills Swim and Racquet. I am also a former Divison I collegiate scholarship player.

All that mumbo jumbo aside.....I love the sport of tennis and love teaching it to others no matter their age or skill level. Tennis has been good to be throughout the years and at this point I don't see ever giving it up. I am very excited to be a part of Barons Creek Club here in Fredericksburg and I hope to grow junior and adult programs to new levels. I have many new ideas for the club and its' programs so keep your eyes open for some fun and exciting new events and leagues.

I look forward to meeting all of you and I will see you on the courts.

Your Friend,

Justin Cobb
