“Most importantly, my kids genuinely enjoy going to tennis!”

We’ve had such a great experience with VS Tennis Academy! My kids have been taking lessons with them on and off for about two months, and I really appreciate how patient, kid-friendly, and hands-on their approach is. The drills are one of my favorite parts. They teach proper technique, but they also build plenty of practice time into each drill so the kids can actually work on the skill, build confidence, and have fun while doing it. A lot of the learning is incorporated into games, which keeps the kids engaged, but the coaches also make sure they stay focused and are learning the correct technique. As a parent, I love that I can take the same drills and skills they’re learning in lessons and continue practicing them with my kids at home. I also really appreciate the flexibility VS Tennis Academy offers. You can pay by the session or choose packages if you want to attend more regularly. We personally love being able to schedule by the session, and rescheduling when needed has always been easy. Vlad, the owner, is knowledgeable, skilled, responsive, and very accommodating to your needs. Fernando has also been absolutely wonderful with my kids! He’s knowledgeable, patient, fun, and does a great job balancing keeping the kids engaged while also helping them focus and develop their skills properly. Most importantly, my kids genuinely enjoy going to tennis! We’ve had such a positive experience with VS Tennis Academy and look forward to continuing lessons with them. Highly recommend, especially for families looking for patient, knowledgeable coaches who are great with young kids!

My kids literally ask to go back every day! We’ve been bringing our 5-year-old and 11-year-old to the Purier Park courts, and I can't say enough good things about this academy.

From a busy mom’s perspective, it’s a dream: small groups (max 5–6 kids so no one gets left out), seamless online reservation, and super convenient training times close to home. 10/10 recommendation!
