What is the best way to get a good tennis coach?

Question

hi i am a sophomore in high school and i wanted to start getting pretty serious about tennis. the only thing is that i have been having trouble finding a good coach or even facility to coach me. Most of the kids that i play tennis with now just play occasionally, but i am looking to practice everyday for a few hours. Anyway, it would be great if someone could tell me what is the best way to get a good coach that will stay with you. You know someone that can hit with me a few hours a day and even travel with me to tournaments. Any help would be great. I love tennis and i just need help taking it to the next level. p.s i live in fort worth tx. Thanks!!!!

Go check out usta.com they sometimes have links for finding coaches, if you have not already signed up for a membership, go ahead and do that. usta.com also has a partner finder for someone to hit with and based on your playing level, and area. Once you meet them, ask them about who their coach is so that you can browse around and see what's available. If your going big then check out some tennis academies, their will surely be some good coaches there.
