The West Coast Tennis Academy was founded by Andy Farmer in the 1980's while coaching juniors in Japan. The goal has always been to offer a tennis program that gives junior & adult players the ability to reach their full potential with their individual goals in mind. Whether their dream is to become a touring professional, high school player or simply enjoy tennis as a social activity we have a top flight coaching staff, training systems and five star training facilities to get the job done. We have programs designed for children, teens and adults.

Our mission is to give students a sense of work ethic, pride, and the will to succeed. When a student begins exhibiting self-discipline, self-sufficiency, and pride as part of their character we have succeeded. Our philosophy is to continually expand tennis horizons. With effort and a positive attitude there are no limits to what anyone can accomplish.

Andy Farmer and coaching staff strongly believes the missing ingredients in today's tennis are the focus and dedication required to succeed. Commitment means putting the work in on and off the court on a consistent basis. There are no shortcuts. Each student needs to stay focused on their individual goals. To reach those goals pupils must constantly ask the following question: "What do I need to do right now to get closer to the goals that I have set for myself?"

Andy received his training at the prestigious Harry Hopman Tennis Academy in Florida (known today as Saddlebrook Resort.) He learned from world renowned coaches and played professionally for over two years until an injury ended his journey early. He has been coaching now for more than 20 years. Our pledge is to cultivate the talent of motivated tennis players and help them take the steps to reach their next level. Andy consistently instills a sense of discipline, energy, and love in all his pupils.
