I may be interested.
I'm about a 3.5 player.
I will be in Barranquilla last 2 weeks in June.
I will be Medellin in August sometime.
Let me know your rates, etc.

thanks for responding guys...looks like not so much interest loll

i am in the usa now and if i do not work in college tennis this year and come back to medellin, i would be more than happy to teach you. pricing is not set in stone, but a 1hr private would run around 60.000cop..less than half of us prices and i will pay the court fee..most likely would be on red clay.
i will store your screen names and pm you on here if i come back in the near future. -best
