Hi, my name is Rick Simeon, Founder and Director of Topspin Tennis, and
I’ve been involved in tennis for 27 years. I was a three-time national qualifier in college at Minot
State University and played future and challenger tournaments in the United States and
Overseas. Over the past 10 years I have coached in Oregon, Alaska, and Florida. As Tennis
Director of the Juneau Racquet Club in Juneau, Alaska, my staff and I took teams of USTA
juniors to sectional tournaments all around the northwest. A few of these players went on to play
college tennis.
At Grand Palms Racquet Club in Pembroke Pines, Florida, I was Head Juniors Director. Many
great players came through the program at Grand Palms. I have coached many ranked Florida
Juniors such as Veronica Figueroa, Zach Laurente, Kelsey Laurente, Josh Cohen, Kurtlan Longa,
Derrick Geibel, and Troy Templen, to list a few.
Sunset Lakes Tennis Club in Miramar, Florida is now the headquarters for Topspin Tennis. We
do one-on-one coaching for adults and juniors, as well as group sessions. Our tournaments are
fun and well-organized, with categories for almost anyone – singles for men and women, doubles
and mixed doubles, and juniors. We also have lots of other organized events to keep people
involved in the great sport of tennis. Currently, the Serbian Davis Cup players have selected our
Pro Shop to string their rackets – one of the many things we do well.
Ft. Lauderdale Beach is headquarters for the Beach Tennis division of Topspin Tennis. My
partner, Niclass Paalzow, and I are currently ranked #3 in the world in the sport of Beach Tennis.
It is an exciting sport that is catching on, with tournaments all over the world. Beach Tennis USA
will be holding tournaments on both the east and west coasts of the United States – watch for
them!
Topspin Tennis has an Academy, Pro Shop, as well as Special Events and Beach Tennis
divisions. My philosophy is to have fun and do it the right way! Thanks for checking out the
website.
Rick Simeon
