Taylor Hardy, Academy Director

Taylor’s expertise is the development of tournament-level junior players. Before coaching, Taylor had extensive and successful tennis career with rankings as high as number one in the state of Alabama as a junior player, top thirty in the southern conference, and top 100 in the nation.

In college, Taylor held rankings as high as sixty-four in the nation in singles and twelve in doubles. In 2014, Taylor was a member of the first ever national championship team at Georgia Gwinnett College, who currently holds the record for most consecutive wins of any division and any sport in collegiate sport history at 147 straight victories.

Taylor studied the art of coaching for two years under Ashley Hobson of Inspiration Academy now in Bradenton, FL. Taylor then started his very own junior tennis academy at Hamilton Mill Country Club in Dacula, GA, where he successfully produced some of Georgia’s most dominant junior tennis players.
