Testimonials
"I have known Cary Stansbury, "Bury" as I affectionately call him, for 50 years, Cary was an elite junior in NorCal and an All American at Cal Berkeley. We had so many good practice sessions when we both played on the ATP Tour.
Cary transitioned into coaching 30+ years ago in Marin County. He is so passionate about coaching: enthusiastic, energetic and so wants to help his students improve as players. Cary worked with my son Zach in the clinics he ran for 8 years at the Belvedere Tennis Club. The kids always enjoyed being a part of those clinics. Zach went on to play for Cal Berkeley.
Wood Racket Ranch in Southern Oregon is a beautiful place and unique opportunity for working with Cary to improve all aspects of your game and have a lot of fun doing it! "
- Brad Gilbert, Former #4 ATP Professional, Coach of Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, and Andy Murray
"I have had the privilege of knowing Cary for over 25 years since he coached me during my competitive years on the WTA Tour. He is an incredibly talented, natural coach who has the perfect balance of technical knowledge and ability to motivate all while building interpersonal connections for a lifetime.
To this day, there has been no other coach in whom I entrust my kids. Cary is truly a one-of-a-kind and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an intuitive, sincere and deeply passionate coach."
- Elly Hakami, Former #32 WTA Professional
"I brought 3 of my kids to Wood Racquet Ranch last summer. They range in age from 5-13. Coach Cary managed to connect with each child. My kids improved their tennis so much in the week we were there. After every lesson, the kids would grab their inner tubes, run down to the river and play for hours.
And, when we got home, they were more excited than ever to practice. Cary was my coach as a child for over 10 years, so I have always wanted to have my kids spend time with him."
- Pam Nelson-Campbell, Former CAL & WTA Player

"Cary Stansbury coached and mentored our 3 boys from junior tennis, through their Division 1 college tennis careers. His knowledge and delivery of the game created a deep understanding. He incorporated the whole picture of the game with hard work, fitness, technique and translated that into a LOVE of the game!"
- Eddie and Ana Barretto
"We are so grateful to Cary for organizing a truly special week for us at the Wood Racquet Ranch. The kids had a blast at the Ranch. They played a ton of tennis with Cary and took several swim breaks in the river. I can't think of a more idyllic place to play tennis. We stayed in one of Cary's fully furnished apartments in downtown Jacksonville, a charming little town in the Applegate Vally surrounded by vineyards, rolling hills, forests and rivers. The apartment was steps away from several great stores and restaurants, including a German restaurant featuring mini golf, bocce and other family-friendly activities. We can't say enough good things about Coach Cary or his set up at the Wood Racquet Ranch. We look forward to our next visit!
