★★★★★Tom FoxBrice Chevalier has been a truly exceptional coach and mentor to our child over the years. His no-nonsense approach sets a tone of professionalism and focus, but it’s always balanced with genuine care and flexibility to meet each student where they are. Brice sets high expectations and holds his athletes accountable—but never at the expense of joy. He manages to push for excellence while still making the sessions fun and rewarding. We’ve seen real growth, not just in skill, but in character, discipline, and confidence. Brice has made a lasting impact, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a dedicated coach. Highly recommended for any family looking for top-tier tennis coaching in Santa Cruz.
★★★★★Haylee FoxWe found Brice during COVID when my then 7-year old and I were looking for an outdoor physical activity to do together. We started with private lessons and Brice quickly put both of us at ease with his friendly demeanor and practical instruction. My child has made great progress (and friends) in his weekly tennis clinics. Pros: price, reliability, quality instruction, friendliness while still holding young athletes accountable
★★★★★Sextus SelvaratnamBrice, Brice Chevalier is an EXCELLENT tennis coach. Our daughter has been playing and learning with him for close to two years now. Brice is great with his students. He motivates kids to do their personal best and always promoting teamwork. He disciplines the kids in a very sensible way. GREAT cost compared to other tennis programs in Santa Cruz. The quality of service is excellent. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is interested in tennis for themselves or their children.
★★★★★Christiana LaughlinWe highly recommend Santa Cruz Tennis Academy! Our son’s experience over the past year has been excellent in every way. Excellent coaching from Brice Chevalier. Our son takes private, semi-private, and group lessons, and all are great. If you’re looking for tennis lessons in the Santa Cruz area, look no further than Santa Cruz Tennis Academy and Brice Chevalier. Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
★★★★★Sarah WolfsenBrice has been coaching my daughter for the last 3 years and she not only loves tennis still but looks forward to her lessons, whether group or private, every week. Brice has been wonderful at pushing her just enough, with a combination of humor and drive. My main focus for her is to really enjoy herself (which she does immensely) and also to keep learning. We have been to so many classes where there is no progression and real learning stops after proficiency. That is not the case here. I would highly recommend Brice and his coaching academy.
