Scott found out about Gladiator Tennis in 2007 when a friend told him that a league was being formed.  Scott started playing tennis at age 14, but only played tennis in high school and had been out of the game for about 15 years.  His initial interest was just to be happy to find some players to hit with, as very few people he knew played tennis.

After starting out at the 3.5 level in 2007, Scott's competitive juices began flowing and he was motivated to continue to improve his game.  He has improved to the point of reaching the 5.0 level this past season, 2011.  Scott must have some natural talent for tennis, because he has never actually taken a professional lesson, and is pretty much self taught.  Scott says, "No matter your age or experience level, you can get back in the game and improve it with Gladiator Tennis!"  He is living proof.
