About Pro Tennis Coaches

The Leong Tennis Academy was established to be a training ground to train and develop talented juniors of all ages. LTA has created its mission on the idea that it is determined to develop players to their fullest potential on and off the court. The academy members are a family with a goal of striving for excellence and the desire to improve each day. LTA is committed to developing each player’s attitude, strong work ethic and group compatibility in this unique sport of tennis. It is devoted to an environment that fosters the individual development of each player as athletes and due to the modest size of the academy there is an opportunity for participants to understand the concept of a great player and coach relationship.

The COACHES:

Chris and Angela Leong, founders of LTA, have been a team in the tennis world for 20 years. Their tennis coaching combined boasts over 40 years of experience. Chris and Angela have coached and trained top sectional and nationally ranked juniors, top collegiate players and former and current touring professionals. Angela was a top ranked sectional and national junior from Hawaii and received a full-scholarship playing Division I competition at the #1 and #2 spot in singles and #1 doubles spot for Loyola Marymount University. Chris was a top ranked junior in Hawaii who also competed nationally and was a former top 20 nationally ranked college player, in both singles and doubles at the University of Southern Colorado. Both share a passion for teaching, mentoring and guiding juniors and enjoy passing on their enthusiasm of the game to them. They are dedicated to their players and are committed to providing the best of themselves to juniors who are devoted to the game.

Kean Feeder, LTA’s newest pro addition since May 2011, brings invaluable experience and expertise.  Kean is a former ATP tour player and has garnered several ATP tour tournaments finals.  Along the way he has wins over players such as Jon Isner and over the course of one summer (3 months), Kean climbed 800 spots in the world rankings, which as you all should know, is not an easy task to accomplish in such a short period of time.   As a junior, Kean was ranked as high as number 2 in the country in the Boys’ 18s.  He has played in a handful of junior grand slam events and was recruited by several high profile colleges before he deciding to turn pro.  After several years on tour, Kean decided to go back to school and played for Boise State where he led the Broncos to top 20 finishes and numerous NCAA tournament appearances.
He has trained with the likes of Bob and Mike Bryan, Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish, and numerous other professionals in the top of the world rankings.
