Meet our Tennis Director, Rachel Horowitz!

Rachel is a USPTR and USPTA certified Tennis Teaching Professional with over two decades of experience helping players discover confidence, joy, and community through tennis. She has worked with athletes of every age and level. 

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Rachel played collegiate tennis, holding the #1 singles and doubles positions all four years and earning All-Conference honors each season. She graduated with a degree in Fitness & Wellness and has been a dedicated teaching professional and tennis program coordinator since 2004. After spending 15 years working in the tennis industry in NYC, she brings her knowledge in coaching, program development, and player support to Cranford Swim & Tennis Club.

Rachel is known for her positive, relationship-centered approach to coaching. She values strong fundamentals, but even more importantly, she values connection; believing that players learn best when they feel supported and inspired. Her passion is helping people grow not only in their skills, but in their confidence and love for the game.

Now a proud Cranford resident of eight years, Rachel is deeply grateful to raise her family in such a close knit community. She enjoys life at home with her husband (Jordan), their three children (Chase, Carter, and Charlee), and their two dogs (Mason and Maia). When she’s not on the court, you’ll find her running through the neighborhood, cheering at her kids’ sporting events, or spending time with family and friends.
