Getting started

Ages, levels and cost

Can we try a class before we sign up?

Yes. New players get a free 30 minute tryout so you can see the coaching and the group before you commit to anything. Call Ivett on (732) 678-7708 to book one. Most families use it to settle which group is right and then enrol from there.

What ages do you teach?

We coach every age. Kids start at age 4, juniors train from 10 to 18, and our adult clinics welcome all levels. Call Rivera Tennis Academy at (855) 556-0450 to find your fit.

How long is a class?

Group classes run 1 hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hours, and the price follows the length. Our youngest players, four and five year olds, often start on a 30 minute class instead.

How many children are in a group?

Mini Tennis, the Red and Orange stages, is capped at 6 players per coach. From Green up it is 6 players on a court, and where a coach runs two courts, up to 10 players in total. Groups also need five or more to run.

How much do lessons cost?

A junior drop-in is $22 and the cheapest package is $88 a month for one day a week — about the same per class, except the package holds the place. Private lessons run $70 to $85 an hour. See the full price list, or call (855) 556-0450.

The week & the weather

Members, non-members and make-ups

What happens if it rains?

From October we no longer cancel for rain unless the weather is genuinely severe. The session moves off court instead: conditioning, video analysis, and technical and tactical work. Players get the hour either way.

Do you offer make-up classes?

Yes. Make-up classes for junior packages must be used within the same month. Ask your coach about scheduling one.

Do the weekly groups stop for summer and school holidays?

No. Camps run in the mornings during summer and school breaks, and the regular group training carries on in the afternoons as usual.

Can two children in the same family train together?

They can be scheduled at the same time, though which group each one joins still depends on their age and level. For anything about rates for two players in one family, call (732) 678-7708 — that line handles sibling rates and homeschool enquiries.

Paying

Courts and coaches

How do I pay?

Card, Venmo or Zelle, and we can invoice you. Monthly packages are set up as an autopay link so the same amount is charged automatically each month.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Monthly packages run on autopay, charged on the 1st of each month, and you can cancel at any time. To skip the next charge, cancel at least 7 days before your billing date. Call (855) 556-0450 to cancel or change a package.

Do I need to be a Forest Oaks member?

Most programs welcome non-members at a slightly higher rate. Only our elite training programs require Forest Oaks membership.

The place & the people

Your first lesson and competition

Where is Rivera Tennis Academy located?

We train at Forest Oaks Swim & Racquet Club, 19023 Joanleigh Dr, Spring, TX 77388, on six hard courts.

Can parents watch?

Yes. There are covered bleachers around the courts, so you can sit and watch the whole session out of the sun.

What should I bring to my first lesson?

Bring a racquet if you have one, water, and court shoes. If you do not have a racquet, let us know. We can lend you one and help you pick the right racquet — we are an authorized Babolat dealer and we string racquets here.

Who are the coaches?

Our coaching team is led by Alfredo Rivera, a former ATP and Davis Cup player with more than 30 years of coaching experience and USPTA and PTR certification. Five more coaches work alongside him, and what each of them brings to a lesson is on the tennis team page.

Do you run tournaments?

Yes. Rivera Tennis Academy hosts UTR tournaments and our Spring Circuit on our courts through the year. Check the tennis events page or call (855) 556-0450 for the next date.

  • Rivera Tennis academy is the best of the best when it comes to Tennis lesson. My son started his lessons here in late August taking private lessons under Coach Devin!! This is the first of any sport my son is playing and we were bit unsure how he might like it. Coach Devin has proved us that these were just our mere concerns. Our son has thrived under Coach Devin’s leadership and training. He is soo patient with our son and works with him at his level. It’s only been few months but our son has come a long way in the world of tennis. Coach Devin is also a very kind and respectful young man! Thank you Ivett for assigning him as our son’s coach. You will never get judged here at the court. Everyone encourages and is kind to each other.

  • I seriously wish I had found this place YEARS ago. They have great dedicated coaches who focus on technique while still making sure everyone in the class has a good time. Students are given time with different coaches (including conditioning!) And often get one-on-one attention. The biggest plus for me is that my kids and I can have our own classes at the same time...so everyone wins!

  • I can't say enough great things about this Rivera Tennis Academy! The coaches here are absolutely wonderful—each one brings a unique combination of expertise, passion, and positivity that makes learning both fun and effective. They truly care about the progress of each player, providing personalized attention and guidance tailored to individual needs. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, the coaches are always there to motivate you, offer constructive feedback, and help you achieve your goals. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, and I always leave feeling more confident in my skills. I highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to improve their tennis game or to even learn the game of tennis. Cheers-Tony
