A Toronto native, Andrea Rabzak has over 25 years of coaching experience and an impressive lifetime playing career.  A highly ranked Canadian junior, Andrea played division 1 singles and doubles for Oklahoma State University and has since brought home both Canadian and Ontario singles and doubles championships and represented Canada at the Senior World Championships.   

Andrea has continuously been recognized for coaching excellence and is a three time recipient of the Tennis Canada Coaching Award of Excellence.   A member of the Tennis Professional Association, Andrea is a Certified Coach 3 and Club Pro 2.   In addition to coaching for ORC, she is a touring coach for the Ontario Tennis Association and accompanies juniors to provincial, national and ITF events.  She trains Canada’s brightest under 12 and 14 prospects at the National Tennis Centre and was the Ontario Manager for the 2009 Canada Games.

This experience has resulted in a long list of exceptional junior players, four of whom became national champions:

• Brittany Wowchuk, from ages 9-17, under 16 singles and doubles champion; on scholarship at Northwestern University
• Monica Lalewicz, from ages 13-17, under 16 singles and doubles champion; on scholarship at Penn State University
• Carol Zhao, in 2009, under 14 singles and doubles champion
• Gloria Liang, in 2010, under 14 singles champion

 

Currently Andrea coaches top 10 nationally ranked ORC players; Angie Sekely, Kyle Macdonald, Kim McCallum, Natasha Irani and Gloria Liang.

 

Somehow, Andrea still finds time to coach adults and has excelled in training successful women’s competitive doubles teams.   Andrea approaches the game of tennis with passion and energy, and motivates all her players to strive for success.
