Who's Teaching?
We'll let our Head Tennis Professional introduce himself...
My name is Brad Erlandson and while I was born in Massachusetts (Go Patriots!), I was raised in Volusia County, FL. I developed a love and passion for tennis at a very young age while playing on the tennis court in my grandmother’s front yard. My younger years were spent playing USTA tournaments, watching, and mastering the technique of the sport.
I began my teaching career at a tennis center in Asheville, NC in 2008 where I became PTR certified while maintaining my USTA membership. I played in a variety of leagues and traveled the surrounding states playing in tournaments. After returning back to FL with my wife and infant daughter in 2009, I continued my profession at the FL Tennis Center in Daytona Beach and became the head tennis pro at the David E. Disney Tennis Center in Deland, Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Lake Buena Vista, and Debary Golf & Country Club in Debary. I have enjoyed working with students of all ages, from 4 – 90+ years old, from beginners to advanced players. I have watched some of my younger students grow, mature, fall in love with the sport, and become amazing college athletes as they compete and continue their success into their professional careers. I now devote 100% of my time to Debary Golf & Country Club while promoting many adult and junior program classes – with Cardio Tennis being one of my most popular and exciting classes. I continue to create individualized plans that support the goals and needs of each specific client. I provide professional racquet stringing and re-gripping services to clients as needed.
I have been happily married since 2005 and now have the opportunity to grow the love of tennis in both my daughter and son. Let me help YOU experience the love and passion of the great game of tennis!
Also, NEW to Our DCC Tennis Team is Mike Branan. He joins DCC as an Assistant to the Director of Tennis and will be providing additional instructional opportunities.
Mike has been playing tennis for 35 years, having started at Oak Street Park in Kissimmee, FL. He is a Global Cardio Tennis Instructor, a USTA Referee, Chair Umpire, and Tournament Director. He also is an Official with the Intercollegiate Tennis Assoc. He knows this sport and is excited to help grow tennis at DCC.
Outside of Tennis, Mike is a Certified Personal Trainer. He specializes in functional training as it relates to rehab and pre-hab, and believes that recovery is just as important as training. He is a dog lover and foodie.
Pickleball | Learn an Exciting New Sport!
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. It can be played in doubles and by all skill levels and ages. It’s played within the area of both tennis service boxes using large paddles to strike the plastic pickleball (similar to a whiffle ball) back and forth over the height of a regular-sized tennis net. We have three designated pickleball courts.
Pickleball is an easy and fun sport to learn, and many families enjoy spending quality time while playing this exciting game together. Look forward to seeing you on the courts.
Who's Teaching?
We'll let our Pickleball Instructor introduce herself...
My name is Theresa Moore and I’ve been a member at Debary Country Club since 2016. My family and I have enjoyed being members at the club attending holiday events, trying to win trivia night, playing tennis, and bogeying our way around the golf course.
After taking pickleball lessons and competing in round robin play, I wanted to get more involved in the sport. As a professor for the last 16 years, pickleball coaching seemed like a natural path to sharing the sport with others. I am a USA Pickleball certified coach and part of the Pro Pickleball Registry. I look forward to teaching fundamentals, making drills fun, and – most importantly – getting to know more of you. I promise my pickleball clinics and events will be welcoming to all skill levels.
I’ve played tennis since high school and play socially and competitively with DCC. I have also started playing golf since joining DCC, but that is still a work in progress. I think I hit as many golf balls onto the courts from the 9th hole’s fairway as I do tennis or pickleballs. I cannot wait to see you all out on the courts!
