Silicon Valley Tennis Academy Camps

Silicon Valley Tennis Academy offers tennis lessons that include beginners classes, private lessons, group lessons, practice clinics, and group sessions for juniors. The program also includes special exercises to increase strength and situational drills in tennis, with a very extensive junior program that specializes in developing beginners into tournament level players. From the first lesson, students are given clinics structured by goals set at various stages with a learning step followed by a measurable phase of improvement, and many of the top-ranked junior players in California have come through the program.

Silicon Valley Tennis Academy describes itself as a tennis school for junior players of any age or experience level, with tailored programs for beginners, high-school team players, and nationally ranked competitors. The program states that parents can have their child learn the right way, improve constantly, and achieve highly, and that its approach and passion for success relate both to tennis and to life. It also states that it combines the intensity of its methods with an environment that recognizes the value of fun, and that students improve through rigorous tutoring while also enjoying the experience. The academy notes that the coach to student ratio is small enough that the student feels like they are really learning and not just another part of the crowd, and that the Director can help set up carpools for juniors. Racquets are available for rent, balls are provided, and participants are asked to bring tennis shoes that do not have black bottoms, with running shoes generally not acceptable.

The leadership team includes San Carlos Director Aaron Elbert, Instructor Hans Jensen, and Director Francisco Ruiz. Aaron is a United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) certified teaching professional, and Hans Jensen is a certified USPTA instructor. The program materials show copyright dates for Silicon Valley Tennis Academy from 2010–2023 and from 2010–2012.

The academy also reports fundraiser donations to the Carlmont High School Girls and Boys Tennis Team in Belmont, the San Carlos Education Foundation, and Musical Bridges I in Redwood Shores.
