Greystone's Year-Round Tennis Program
Director of Tennis and Head Pro: Dean Peterson
Teaching and coaching since 1971, Dean Peterson brings a wealth of
expertise to the position of Tennis Director at Greystone. His extensive
experience runs from teaching and coaching at every age level, to
organizing and running camps, and coaching private, group, league and
school teams. He has worked with top teaching pros and touring
professionals in team, camp, clinic, and tournament settings.
After earning a bachelors and masters of science in Physical Education
with a concentration in sports psychology from SUNY Cortland, he began
his athletic coaching career as a Peace Corp volunteer at the community
college of Micronesia. Returning to the US, he became a head high school
football and basketball coach in upstate New York and quickly went on to
become the head football and tennis coach at Dean Junior College in
Massachusetts, taking his tennis team all three years to the Junior
College Nationals. He then accepted the head football and tennis
coaching positions at Frostburg State University in Maryland,
transforming two losing programs into winning programs. Coach Peterson
stepped "up" to division IAA as the running backs coach at Towson State
University for three years before shifting his career focus and
accepting a teaching position at North Carolina State University in
1990, teaching tennis 1 and 2, tennis coaching and football coaching
courses. J. W. Isenhour immediately brought him in to the Raleigh
Racquet Club to work as a pro in the Junior Program. In over 18 years at
RRC, Dean worked with some of the best juniors in the country and
learned from the best teaching pro around, J.W. Isenhour.
Currently a physical education specialist at Millbrook Elementary
School, Dean is looking forward to directing the tennis program over the
coming years here at Greystone. Many of you may already be acquainted
with Coach "Pete" as he has taught private lessons here at the club for
many years. Dean and his wife Gail reside in Wake Forest. Dean can be

Dean has hired Doug Brown for daytime clinics and to assist with
teams. Doug grew up Tampa, Florida playing
competitive Jr. tennis. Graduating from Appalachian in 2004 with a
degree in Psychology, he returned to Florida
to play tournaments and teach at Saddlebrook Tennis Academy. He
returned to NC for theological school in 2005,
working at 7 Oaks tennis complex while completing his graduate
degree. Doug works with College Ministry at
