THE HEART OF A

CHAMPION MEET OUR NEW TENNIS DIRECTOR

OMAR GONZALEZ |

04

TENNIS DIRECTOR Omar Gonzalez comes to Riverton Country Club with a lifetime of tennis experience. In his early career in Colombia, Omar was ranked #8 in the country through his participation in National Tournaments.

Playing gave way to a passion for coaching and instructing. Omar was an original implementer in Colombia of adapting tennis to ďŹ t young players. At the prestigious Club Camestre, he honed his teaching style to include adults of all ability levels.

Omar's move to the US brought him to Woodcrest Country Club in Cherry Hill, where he served as the Tennis Director for 9 years. At Woodcrest, he focused on social tennis, providing programs for the adult and junior communities. In the winter months, Omar continued with his many clients at the Cherry Hill Health and Racquet Club.

MEET OMAR

Through participation in ITF, USTA and US PTR seminars, Omar embraced a modern approach to tennis, with a focus on Junior Develpment. He was an early adopter of the Red/Orange/Green Ball coaching strategy for junior players. His strong technical teaching style has enabled him to develop many top ranked players in the south Jersey area; counting among his students, top players at Cherry Hill, Moorestown, Eastern and Voorhees high schools.

For the last 11 years, Omar has been the Junior Director of Tennis at the Moorestown Tennis Club, introducing many young players to the game. These Juniors now represent the Top Tier players in New Jersey. In addition his strong Junior program, Omar continued to teach numerous adult clinics & programs. Adjusting to the desire of each group, he provided social clinics for those seeking fun, and technical and tactical training to those seeking more intense competition and improvement.

Omar is looking forward to the opportunity to be a part of the Riverton CC community. He brings a passion for tennis and a joy of teaching that infuses his lessons and clinics. He looks forward to sharing this enthusiasm with RCC members, and hopes to grow the social tennis community. |
