Check out our success stories
Casie Wooten
Casie is the Tennis Academy of California’s first enrollment. Casie always comes to training with a smile, ready to play and give her all. Although she has been relatively highly ranked throughout her So Cal Jr career (G10’s #5, G12’s #19, G14’s #36, G16’s #1, G18’s #3), she is always striving for improvement and helping the other players around her to improve. She has won some of So Cal’s most prestigious junior tournaments (Woody Hunt, Ojai, JP Yamasaki 2x’s) and participated in almost all of the significant National Tournaments (Easter Bowl – Doubles Quarter Finalist, Winter Nationals – Singles Quarter Finalist, Indoors and Hardcourts – Doubles Semi-Finalist). As the end of her junior career approaches, we are actively helping her explore her NCAA Division 1 opportunities. Update ~ She has committed to playing at Wake Forest University! Congrats! Go DEACS!
Ryan Son
Ryan has been steadily improving over the past year. He has recently broken into the top 100 B12’s in So California and played in his first National Level Tournament.
