TESTIMONIALS

  • Thank you for your unwavering passion, care and guidance. Your support and belief in Sienna right from her first years in tennis have had, and continue to have, such a positive influence on her own self-belief and confidence. Sienna is loving her tennis with you, and I’m sure she will continue her upward trend even more in the coming months and years… And I have no doubt she will learn to control her feelings and emotions too, so that those moments of anxiety all but disappear!! We appreciate your time and investment into helping her become the best Sienna she can be, in tennis, AND in life!

  • Wow Charissa – this takes me back to 12 years ago and you’re still faithfully encouraging the youngsters in the sport – what a fantastic job you do!! Its really because of you that Katie has a tennis scholarship in the US – you are the one who spotted her as an 8 year old and got her to love the game – fond memories .

  • I just wanted to offer my hugest glowing reference for the Tennis Program. It is actually amazing how many of our year (Grade 4s now) that started in Grade R and have continued all the way through with Charissa’s tennis program and are still totally loving it. Charissa and Sousanna are amazing. They have the most remarkable way with children. They get them all. The ones who listen, the ones who struggle, to the ones who act up…. they nurture them all in such a positive way and build the boys up enormously. Thanks so much the festival was great!

  • Thank you Charissa Balman's School of Tennis for all you have done for tennis (and the kids who play it!) at Kirstenhof.

  • Matthew absolutely loves his tennis lessons and I think it’s because he respects you so much as a teacher. He’s quite difficult to please so that is high praise. Thanks for all your efforts this year.
