About Us

Irvine Village Tennis

A Personal Commitment
As parents and coaches ourselves, we have not encountered a program in Irvine that we believe truly encapsulates our vision. This personal experience drove us to create Irvine Village Tennis, where our commitment is to provide a tennis program that exceeds expectations and reflects our passion for the sport.
Instructional Focus
Our programs are designed to be instructional, going beyond ball-feeding sessions. We prioritize tennis specific skill development and tennis knowledge.
Affordable Tennis Program for Residents
We are committed to making our lessons accessible for "indiviudal community" residents to participate and enjoy the benefits of and what tennis has to offer.
Increase Community Engagement
Since our program is exclusively for individual community residents, it serves as a unique opportunity to enhance community engagement and foster connections among neighbors.
Philosophy / Mission
Tennis is something that requires patience, motivation, hard work, discipline, and most of all, time. We believe in order for players to excel we needed to create an environment which encourages all of these. We believe every player deserves this opportunity to excel, so we strive to not only help individuals to excel on and off the court, but to become great ambassadors for the sport of tennis. Help students be 'World Class' not just on the court but in their personal lives as well!
There are no shortcuts, but if you are willing to work hard, we will work harder to help you excel!
