Jim Whiting joined Rally Point Racquet Club in 2017 and quickly became one of the club’s most beloved and sought-after coaches for both juniors and adults. Known for his fun spirit, light-hearted quick wit, and silly personality, Jim has a unique way of helping players improve without even realizing how hard they are working. He works closely with Rally Point’s top-achieving juniors, guiding them toward the next level of their development with expert insight and gentle encouragement. A former college tennis player at the University of Georgia, Jim has spent his career coaching at top-tier programs, including serving as the Director at Hop Meadow Country Club, working at the National Tennis Center in New York City, and most-recently, leading summer programs at the Quonochontaug Tennis Club in Charlestown, RI. At Rally Point, Jim also organizes some of our adult beginner programs and doubles leagues, continuing to spread his love for the game on and off the court—and always with a smile.
Rally Point Racquet Club opened its doors in 1972 with just three courts and no lounge area, founded by a group of friends who saw tennis gaining popularity across the U.S. and wanted to create a place where their community could come together to share in the love of the sport. Their vision quickly took hold, and after early success, the club expanded—adding three more courts and building the indoor space that continues to serve as the heart of the facility today. Over the past 50+ years, Rally Point has grown steadily by listening to and evolving with its most dedicated players and supporters.
