• Ages: 5–18 years old
Angel Lopez Tennis Academy Junior Tennis Training Programs are for children ages 8–18 years old, and Half Days are for children 5–15 years old. The Junior Tennis Clinics Ages 8 & Under Program uses smaller sized tennis courts designed for children 8 years and under, with court dimensions of 36 feet long and 18 feet wide and a net height of 2 feet 9 inches, along with specialized equipment, shorter court dimensions, and modified scoring tailored to age and size. Within one hour of stepping onto the court in this 8 & Under Program, children are actually playing tennis and rallying with one another. The junior lessons and clinics are described as well organized, professionally managed, and competently supervised, in a structured environment that stresses development in basic and advanced skills as well as fitness, concentration, motivation, and self-discipline with an emphasis on fun, excitement, and involvement. The programs are described as being designed to promote and develop tennis and tennis competition among children.
The mission statement for the junior programs is that winning is important, second only to the development of the player, and that tennis is used as a vehicle to also develop successful young people in life. Angel Lopez is the Director of Tennis and Director of Tennis for Angel Lopez Tennis Academy, and his credentials include being a 2011 San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame inductee, USPTA Certified Master Professional, P.T.R. Certified, and a USA High Performance Coach. The broader leadership and instructional team at the club includes Alex Willow (General Manager), Leslie Rocca (Office Coordinator), Chris Taylor (Manager / Membership Director), Tim Silvia (Manager / Bar & Grill Manager), Dane Thomson (Tennis Coordinator and Tennis Pro), Steve Tucker (Tennis Pro), David Salemi (Tennis Pro), Shanna McCarron (Group Exercise Coordinator and Personal Trainer), Chris Robinson (Pilates – S6 Fitness), Deena Deardurff Schmidt (Swim Instructor), Marsha Selzer (Massage Extraordinaire), Trevor Lewan (Trev’s Tennis Shop Owner), and Nick Garza (Pickleball Pro). The club is described as a family oriented facility and has been voted Best Value Club in the Nation, and it is also described as “San Diego’s best kept secret.”
