The academy includes personalized fitness programs on court and at Cabrillo Fitness, with strength, speed, agility, endurance, and additional conditioning activities. It uses biomechanics techniques for players recovering from injuries and Modern Tennis techniques for stroke development, physical conditioning, and match strategy. Brice Chevalier monitors each player’s stroke improvement process, often using video analysis in a development program tailored to that player’s individual needs, and works on conditioning at every clinic and lesson, often taking top players to Cabrillo Fitness for additional conditioning activities.

Santa Cruz High-Performance Tennis Academy is led by Brice Chevalier, Director of the academy. Brice is a certified USPTA tennis instructor and personal trainer, certified in Modern Tennis Methodology, certified as a Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist, a certified personal coach from CoachU University, a Certified Double-Goal Coach, and a certified technician in Neuro-Linguistic Programming by the IPNLA in Quebec, and is a PTR and USTA member. Brice started working with local players in 2006 and also helps coach both the men’s and women’s tennis teams at Cabrillo College. Brice works as a life coach with his players and states, “My mission is to provide the most personalized guidance and mentoring for each player — making sure every bit of my knowledge is transferred. There's no better feeling than seeing my students become successful players and human beings.” Visitors are welcome to view a clinic in action and meet Brice in person.
