Ely Elefante

Sinforoso Elefante, my late father, and Reynaldo Elefante, my brother, taught me the great game of tennis many years ago.  I have played tennis in  New Orleans, Charleston, SC, Hawaii, Southern California, Washington State, Georgia, Kentucky,  and Kansas.  I am a Certified Tennis Instructor with the Professional Tennis Registry.  Additionally, I am American Red Cross certified in Adult, Child, Baby First Aid/CPR/AED, USTA; U.S. Center for SAFESPORT (child protection) Trained, and  successfully completed the United States Tennis Association Coach Youth Tennis program and have a current security background check.

I had the honor to serve in the U.S. Army attaining the rank of  Lieutenant Colonel.  My second career has been at the college and university level. 

I enjoy teaching all students regardless of age and skill level.  When I am not on the courts, I teach  the martial arts of Jujutsu, Aikido and Judo!
