Welcome to SFV Tennis School!
Welcome to SFV Tennis School in Tarzana, a place created by people who truly love tennis and want to share that passion with others. For us, the court is more than just a place to play; it’s where confidence, discipline, and joy are built step by step. That’s why we designed our school as a boutique tennis experience, with small groups, personal attention, and a training philosophy that puts quality first.
All of our lessons take place on a private court in Tarzana. This gives our students and families an atmosphere you won’t find at crowded public facilities: no noise, no waiting for courts, no interruptions. Just a calm, secure environment where kids and adults can focus fully on their training. Parents love the convenience of our central Valley location, while students enjoy the boutique feel of practicing in a space designed just for them.
We call our approach a boutique tennis experience because it’s built around the individual, not the masses. We limit the size of our groups, tailor each session to the needs of our players, and make sure that every student feels seen, supported, and challenged in the right way. This makes the learning process not only more effective but also more enjoyable. Students don’t just show up for a lesson — they become part of a small, connected community where progress is celebrated and effort is always recognized.
One of the things that sets SFV Tennis School apart is our strong focus on technique. We believe that mastering proper strokes, balance, and footwork from the beginning saves years of frustration later. Many players skip fundamentals and hit a ceiling quickly. Our goal is to prevent that by building the right foundation early — so that every forehand, backhand, and serve feels natural, efficient, and repeatable under pressure. This attention to detail is not only for kids — adults, too, benefit from technical training that corrects old habits and builds new confidence. Whether you’re preparing for competitive matches or simply want to feel more solid in weekend games, technique-first coaching makes all the difference.
Our philosophy is inspired by European coaching methods that have shaped some of the world’s greatest players. In Eastern Europe, the focus has always been on discipline and solid fundamentals. Spain brings its clay-court tradition of endless rallies, patience, and consistency. France emphasizes variety, creativity, and smooth movement. At SFV Tennis School, we blend these traditions to give our students a unique and well-rounded style of play. This European influence ensures that training is not just about hitting balls but about developing a full game: movement, reaction, balance, strategy, and mental focus. It’s a complete system that respects the craft of tennis while keeping it exciting and motivating for each player.
For kids, we offer small group classes where young players can learn, grow, and have fun together. These sessions are filled with energy and creativity, helping children not only build strong fundamentals but also develop discipline, focus, and confidence. With our boutique approach, no child gets lost in the crowd — every student is guided, corrected, and supported as they move forward step by step. For adults, we specialize in private classes designed around individual needs and goals. Some adults come to us as beginners who want to learn the right way from the start. Others already play and are looking to sharpen their strokes, refine their serve, or build the consistency to win more matches. In both cases, our coaching is personal, precise, and built to deliver real progress.
At SFV Tennis School, we don’t see ourselves as just another place to take tennis lessons. We see ourselves as mentors, guides, and partners in your journey with the sport. Every player, whether 6 years old or 60, deserves the same level of attention, care, and enthusiasm. We celebrate effort, discipline, and small victories — because we know these are the building blocks that lead to big results over time.
We are fans of tennis, and that passion shows in the way we coach, the way we encourage, and the way we build our community. This is not about being the biggest school in town. It’s about being the right school for families and individuals who want something different: a boutique, technique-focused, European-style tennis education in a private, exclusive setting.
If you’re looking for a place where tennis is taught with heart, precision, and passion — where you’re not just another student, but part of a community — you’ll find it here at SFV Tennis School in Tarzana.
