Our Certified Professionals

Pete Anderson, PTR - Director of Aria Tennis

"In no other sport are the strategic possibilities so numerous, the ways to outwit your opponent so rich and varied within the accepted sportsmanlike bounds".
- Sara Palfrey

Pete has been teaching tennis for over 14 years to individuals and groups of all ages and all levels. As a PTR certified professional, his passion extends from ensuring 4 year olds have a great first experience, to working with state and nationally ranked juniors, to making sure adults have fun while improviing their own style of play. Technique, footwork, positioning and how the game is played are some of Pete's favorite topics of discussion. Pete grew up playing his tennis on the east coast but moved to Colorado in 2004 to snowboard, hike, camp and enoy the west.
