Private Tennis Lessons & Coaches in Los Altos, CA

I’m the founder of SBA Tennis & Pickleball, a Bay Area academy focused on delivering high-quality, structured, and fun tennis and pickleball instruction for players of all ages and levels. While I work directly with students, SBA is more than just one coach—I lead a team of experienced, high-energy instructors who consistently deliver professional, engaging lessons across all programs. Our coaches work with everyone from beginners to advanced players, with a strong emphasis on proper technique, game understanding, and long-term development. All lessons take place on our reserved courts at Cupertino, so you’re guaranteed a court every session—no waiting, no interruptions, and no risk of losing your time like at public courts. My background as a licensed physical therapist with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy allows me to bring a unique, results-driven approach to coaching. I specialize in stroke biomechanics, movement efficiency, and injury prevention, helping players improve faster while staying healthy. With over a decade of coaching experience and a 5.0 NTRP playing level, I’ve worked with players ranging from young beginners to advanced competitors. Through SBA Tennis & Pickleball, we’ve built a reputation for making learning simple, structured, and enjoyable—whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time or looking to take your game to the next level.

Both Coach Brandon & Coach Jovan are very good at coaching young kids and also keep the kids engaged. I also appreciate the way how Coach Brandon run the clinic a lot! It gives us a lot of flexibilities to fit in my kid and my family's schedules, which is a huge bonus!!
