Player development · Spring, TX

From a first racquet to tournament play One pathway, and a place on it at every level.

Players are placed by age and level, never dropped into whatever group has space. If a player sits between two groups we will say so and suggest the better fit. Call (855) 556-0450 and we will tell you where they start.

Red and Orange

Kids Tennis Lessons

Mini Tennis is the Red and Orange stages, named for the low-compression balls each plays with. Those balls bounce lower and travel slower, so a child rallies in their first class instead of chasing. Red is usually 4 to 8 and Orange 8 to 12, but placement follows level, not birthday.

  • Play First Kids start with games that teach movement and hand-eye skills. 01
  • Right-Size Gear We use small racquets and soft balls so kids succeed early. 02
  • Build Strokes Simple forehands, backhands, and volleys grow week by week. 03
  • First Matches Kids play mini matches and learn to love competing. 04

When: Mon & Fri, 5:00–7:00 PM. Full schedule →

Green and Yellow

Junior Tennis Lessons

Small groups sorted by age and level, one to five days a week. Technique, footwork, fitness and the mental side of the game that wins matches.

  • Level Placement We place each junior in a group that matches their age and level. 01
  • Technique Work Coaches drill clean strokes, footwork, and smart shot choices. 02
  • Live Point Play Juniors play points and sets so skills transfer to real matches. 03
  • Compete Players test their games in our UTR tournaments and circuit events. 04

When: Mon–Fri, 5:00–7:00 PM. Full schedule →

By commitment

Elite Tennis Lessons

For players who want to push their tennis rather than keep it up: three, four or five days a week, a personal coaching plan and private sessions inside the package. Nobody is picked for this - you choose it by committing to the training load. Elite players hold a Forest Oaks membership.

  • Player Assessment We test strokes, movement, and match play to set a baseline. 01
  • Personal Plan Each player gets a coaching plan with clear ranking goals. 02
  • Daily Training High-intensity court work plus private sessions every month. 03
  • Tournament Support We guide scheduling, travel, and match review for events. 04

When: Mon–Fri, 5:00–7:00 PM. Full schedule →

Where it gets tested

UTR tournaments

We run UTR tournaments and circuit events at Forest Oaks through the year, including our Spring Circuit. Players earn verified UTR rating points in real matches without driving across Houston, and their coaches are courtside to watch.

  • UTR verified events, so results count toward a real rating
  • Draws for a range of levels, from first tournament to ranked juniors
  • Played on the hard courts at Forest Oaks
  • Coaches on site to watch matches and review them afterwards

Alongside the groups

What sits next to the pathway

These run beside the ladder rather than on it. None of them is a rung, and none replaces group training — they are what a player adds to it.

The price list shows every package, and the weekly schedule shows every block. Not sure where a player fits? Call (855) 556-0450 or send a message.

  • 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
