hear from our families.

To our family, Darko Byrd represents more than tennis—it’s where our daughters found mentorship, growth, and confidence.

We are forever grateful for the lasting impact they’ve had on our daughters’ maturity, both as athletes and individuals.

Chris & Karrie Crocker

I’m incredibly grateful for the impact Coach Byrd has had on my life and career.

From the very beginning, he’s been much more than just a coach — he’s been a mentor, a role model, and a steady presence in my development as both a player and a person.

Coach Byrd didn't just teach me how to play tennis. He taught me how to pursue excellence in every area of life. He demanded integrity, discipline, creativity, and relentless effort while never letting me settle for less than my best. His belief in me helped take me from a mediocre student to earning a scholarship at Georgia Tech and ultimately winning a national championship as part of one of the best teams in the country. I simply would not be where I am today without Coach Byrd. Every young athlete deserves someone who believes in them the way he believed in me.

Whitney Mcray

At Darko/Byrd Tennis Academy the Standard of Developing National Players and beyond is Set in Stone and is Non-Negotiable...That Commitment to Excellence is Why My Son is Here.

Tennis Parent, Sean George

The impact that Coach Byrd and the entire coaching staff of Darko Byrd Academy have had on our daughter is immeasurable. Her tennis skills and knowledge of the game have been completely transformed from a beginner, competing in local leagues and beginner tournaments, to a polished and relentless athlete in less than a year. The coaching staff sincerely cares about the overall development of each athlete, in the sport and as a person. They work closely with the players and their families to assemble a unique training plan to develop their skills based on individual goals. They promote excellence, teaching with firmness and kindness, helping the players find self-confidence and determination on and off the courts. We are immensely grateful for the care and dedication each coach has poured onto our child and she is forever changed because of them. Coach Byrd is now a part of our family.
