Our Program

More than just tennis

Tennis teaches young people skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

They gain resilience by learning to overcome the challenges of the game.

Good sportsmanship comes from dealing with wins and defeats, while they develop teamwork skills as they need to cooperate with others to improve and play in teams for doubles matches.

Tennis for every child

Our goal is to place each child in the session that best fits their age and stage of development. Every player will find a pathway that supports their growth and enjoyment of the game.

Our program is open to any and all entrants (limited only by number, age, grade level, and/or gender) and is designed to support players across the spectrum — from those just discovering the sport to those aspiring to compete at higher levels in the future.

Led by an experienced coaching team, every session combines fun, skill development, and a supportive yet challenging environment where players are encouraged to improve, gain confidence, and enjoy their tennis journey.

Making Friends

To create balanced sessions where every child feels challenged and supported, we consider both age and playing experience when organizing groups. Players are placed in environments where they can grow at their own pace while meeting new friends who share a love for the game.

As children continue through the program, they will have the chance to connect with a wide variety of peers and enjoy opportunities to play in new settings and events.

Our Coaches

Our head coaches are all former professional players or collegiate-level coaches, bringing unmatched experience to our academy.

We pride ourselves on having the highest-performing coaching staff of any academy in the Bay Area.

Our coaches have worked with players of all levels, from beginners to collegiate and professional competitors.

Happy Children

Research suggests that tennis players have greater self-esteem, confidence, vigour, and optimism while suffering less depression, anger, confusion, anxiety, and tension than other athletes and non-athletes.

Tennis offers a great diversion from life's stresses as well as a great opportunity for your child to socialize.
