Greetings! I have loved the sport of tennis since my youth in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
I started playing with friends at our neighborhood courts. Then I went on to enjoy competing on school teams and in Junior tournaments. Now enough about me; let’s play!

Welcome - I am the CEO/Owner of Karevoyance, but it all started with coaching Parks & Rec tennis over 15 years ago. Coaching both juniors and adults throughout my career, many of my junior students are now college players. My hope is that I instilled in them the love and fun of the game to help keep them playing during those difficult, competitive moments when many juniors give up. I really enjoy beginner adult tennis, introducing them to a sport they can play for life. While I still enjoy coaching at the highest levels of performance, my passion is growing the game and consulting Recreation Departments and Private Clubs on how to build and elevate successful racquet sports programs.

Hello I’m Coach John Ashford. I was born in Columbia, SC and have called it my home since. I was born into a tennis heavy family, not only is my dad a retired tennis coach but my parents met on the tennis court playing mixed doubles. I played high school tennis for 6 years, 2 years on JV (7th and 8th grade) and 4 years starting on varsity (9th thru 12th grade). I played with local tennis leagues while in college, getting up to a 4.5 rating. I have always done private lessons on the side simply because of my love for the game but my family helped me realize I should get certified. My coaching style is a combination of "fundamental techniques that work on emphasizing the basics, focusing on the small details and making tennis relevant and fun!"
I’m currently the assistant teaching pro out of Quail Valley and I love it. I’m looking forward to meeting you guys and teaching you all about this amazing sport right here in Hanahan, SC.
