Our Academy

Who we are

At Evolve Academy, proudly prepare our athletes for the highest quality possible in junior tennis. Centrally located in the vibrant and beautiful Bay Area, our training facilities lie in the heart of Silicon Valley—where the sun shines nearly 300 days a year, providing the perfect setting for year-round development.

We recognize that each athlete has unique aspirations. Whether a player dreams of competing in competitive tournaments, earning admission to top-tier universities, playing recreationally, or pursuing a mix of those three, Evolve Academy provides a clear and supportive pathway to help them reach their goals.

Our training cater to players of all skill levels—from beginners to advanced competitors—and are held on the campuses of Foothill College and Los Altos High School. We offer year-round programs, including intensive summer sessions and private coaching, led by our carefully selected team of experienced coaches, each with a strong background in competitive tennis.

Why us?

What sets Evolve Academy apart is our commitment to quality coaching through small player-to-coach and player-to-court ratios. Our training sessions are fast-paced and purposeful, including dynamic drills, continuous feedback, strategic point play, and minimal idle time.

We foster a challenging yet supportive environment rooted in accountability, resilience, and respect. We closely monitor our players' progress, encourage consistent goal-setting, and motivate them daily to push their limits. We acknowledge the dedication and sacrifices required to excel in the sport.

At Evolve Academy, we demand effort, focus, and discipline, but we never lose sight of the joy of the game. We believe that tennis is more than a sport—it’s a lifelong passion. Through a culture of excellence and integrity, we develop not only strong competitors but also well-rounded individuals who strive to bring their best both on and off the court.
