Important Message
It is with great sadness that we share with you the unexpected loss of our founder, Cary Cohenour who passed unexpectedly on March 27th, 2023. We are all in shock and quickly trying to pick up the pieces. This is a tremendous loss for both the international tennis community as well as Cary’s friends, past and present students and associates.
With the full support of the Cohenour family, we feel the best way to support Cary’s legacy is to continue with the academy while preserving the all the goals and principles that Cary has instilled in his team and students over so many years.
This is a difficult time for all of us, however, the best way to honor our friend and coach is to play on.
We will post more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact German Lopez-Montoya at (941) 447-3759 or germantenniscelsius@gmail.com.
