Bio

Levine brings a wealth of coaching experience at the professional, collegiate and high school ranks.

As a player, Levine had more than a three-year stint on the ATP Tour. He mainly played doubles as a professional.

"I also had a chance to coach on the Tour as well," Levine said. "I was a much better coach than player. This is sport that I have a real passion for."

Levine had a successful stint as the boys tennis coach at Amity Regional from 1998 to 2006. His team won a state championship in 2004 with an undefeated season.

Levine was head coach of both the men's and women's tennis programs at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa., in 2016 and again in 2017. He also had a stint as the interim head coach for the women's tennis team at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

Levine spends his summers working at Cheshire's Copper Valley Swim & Tennis Club. Most recently, he was the girls' tennis coach at Cheshire High School.

"There's more to coaching than just winning. I think there's a lot of growth that happens with young men and women at (this) age. I want to help them grow and improve as men and women."

For over 30 years, Levine served as a technical advisor for gear (racquets and string) for Tennis Magazine. Since 2014, he has been the owner and CEO of tennis2tennis, a tennis consulting firm that works with tennis clubs regarding specific operational issues. He also conducts operational studies that include marketing, programming, staffing and operations. Before tennis2tennis, Levine was the general manager and partner at Courtside Racquet Club from 2005 to 2014. During his tenure at Courtside, Levine saw Courtside Racquet Club earn 2009 Facility of the Year by USTA National.

The Springfield College graduate was the director of tennis at Oak Lane Country Club from 1990 to 2001, preceded by stops as the senior vice president of tennis operations at Spectrum Sports (1986-1989) and assistant women's tennis coach at Skidmore (1980-1999). In 1998, he helped Skidmore win the Division III national championship.
