Ashlee Gardner

Owner | Head Coach

Ashlee started Aspen tennis academy in 2012 and has been teaching tennis for 20 years. Beginning as a top junior in Utah, she placed in the top 3 every year, competing for the 5A state championships. Building on her success as a junior, she went on to compete at the Division I level as a collegiate athlete. During her four-year career at Southern Utah University, Ashlee earned the titles of Most Valuable Player and Team Captain.

Ashlee’s dedication and success as a student-athlete solidified her appreciation for the fundamentals of proper technique and form.  Her love of tennis and passion for coaching are on display every time she steps onto the court.

Being able to share my passion for the game to those I Coach on the tennis courts is something very dear to me! There’s nothing more rewarding & fulfilling to me when I see my players learn tennis and excel in their game. From junior players to adults it’s such a honor to share your love of tennis with all of you. I feel very blessed and honored to be along side my players on the tennis court.
