Tenacious Tennis Academy - San Francisco, CA

Jesse, has such a deep understanding of tennis from both a phenom youth player perspective as well as excellent tennis instructor. His calm and clear voice helps the student absorb his wealth of tennis knowledge. He holds my kids accountable for their play and I trust his efforts to peak their interest in the game of tennis. We love Tenacious Tennis Academy.

My 8-year-old recently had the opportunity to attend Tenacious Tennis Academy, and I must say, it was an absolute ace experience from start to finish! This camp was an outstanding choice for young tennis enthusiasts, and my child absolutely loved every moment of it.

First and foremost, the camp’s coaches and staff were exceptional. They displayed a remarkable level of expertise, patience, and genuine passion for the sport. Their dedication and ability to connect with the children created an environment that was both nurturing and inspiring. My child felt comfortable and supported throughout the entire camp, which greatly contributed to his enjoyment and progress.

The camp curriculum was thoughtfully designed, striking a perfect balance between fun and skill development. Each day, the children engaged in a variety of drills, games, and friendly competitions that not only improved their technique but also fostered a sense of camaraderie among the participants. The camp organizers made sure to incorporate age-appropriate activities that kept the kids engaged, excited, and eager to come back for more! They even had a watermelon eating contest!

What truly impressed me was the personalized attention given to each child. The coaches took the time to provide individual feedback and guidance, allowing my child to enhance their skills and build confidence. This personalized approach was instrumental in helping my little one improve their technique and develop a genuine love for the game.

As a parent, I also appreciated the camp’s emphasis on sportsmanship and character development. The coaches consistently promoted values like respect, teamwork, and fair play. It was an experience that not only enhanced my son’s tennis skills but also left him with a deep love for the sport. We are already looking forward to next year’s camp!

I signed up my 12 years old grandson for Tenacious Academy’s week-long tennis camp (half day each day). On the first day, when I came to pick him up, he begged me to let him stay for the rest of the day. When we came home that day he fell asleep on the couch. He was tired, but really loved the experience. This camp provided a good tennis practice, different games (related and unrelated to tennis), various physical activities, healthy snacks (no junk food, but lots of fruits). The kids played different games, such as Around the World, TTF (Touch The Fence) and many others. There were various prizes given out at the end of the week. The camp had very friendly atmosphere and my grandson made friends there. His tennis game noticeably improved after this week; he became a more confident player. Most importantly, he loved it, had a lot of fun and made new friends. I would highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for a fun, friendly, activity-filled week for their children.

We sent our kids to Tenacious Tennis Academy for weekly clinics and every summer for eight years from ages 5-12. They are now in high school and still return to Tenacious regularly for lessons from coach Jesse and his amazing team. Because of their time with Tenacious, our kids are now amazing tennis players owing to the teaching philosophy at Tenacious, where they learned about tennis technique and the importance of sportsmanship, hard work, and respect, lessons that have benefitted them both on and off the court. If you are looking for an environment in which your kids will learn how to play AND love tennis then I highly recommend Tenacious. Thank you, Coach Jesse!

Really well run tennis camps and clinics. Jesse is great with our teens and does a wonderful job coaching them and encouraging them. I would highly encourage parents to check this place out for their kids!

I brought my son to Tennacious Tennis last summer and he had an absolute blast!!! The camp is run by very talented tennis players who work with the kids on all kinds of coordination and skill building activities. The setting in the SF state campus is beautiful as well. Can’t wait to bring my kiddo back this year!!

If you are looking for a GREAT tennis camp in San Francisco, THIS IS IT! My parents live in SF, and I flew my two teenage sons from Washington State to participate in one of the Tenacious Tennis Academy week-long, all day sessions. Tenacious Tennis Academy also offers three-hour, half-day sessions in the morning and afternoon for those folks limited on time.

FIRST Quality. Many tennis camps start out as warm-up rally sessions that turn into playing points/sets...in other words, very little instruction/attention and more like occupying a large chunk of time to keep participants entertained for long periods. Tenacious Tennis Academy is NOT that type of camp. While some points/sets are played out, Tenacious Tennis Academy focuses on technique, strategy, footwork, and overall game improvement. With four different instructors, feedback is individualized. Even though there were up to 30 participants, my sons indicated that this level of attention and instruction was on par with the small group instruction they received in Washington which cost significantly more.

SECOND Cost. When you compare other tennis camps, this is probably one of the most economical. For 30 hours of instruction for one week-long, all day session, the cost is only $375 which equates to $12.50/hr. This is much less than what I end up paying for group tennis skills & drills which comes out to more like $15 - $25 per hr. You don't have to worry about paying for extensive marketing and advertising like with other brand-name camps.

THIRD Fun Factor. Yes, six hours of tennis per day for five straight days was an adjustment for my sons considering that the longest tennis skills & drills they previously participated was 1.5 hrs. I was initially concerned that they might feel burnt out. However, they were even more energized because they had fun during their session. Again, if six hours is too long, there are three-hour sessions available in the morning and afternoon.

I highly recommend this tennis camp which is also open to adults. If my sons could spend more time in SF, I would definitely enroll them in more weeks. I definitely plan on sending my sons to Tenacious Tennis Academy next summer and will probably hop in on the action as well!
