Spring Woodlands Tennis Academy (SWTA) was formed by Ken Olivier and Friday Otabor in 2015. In a short amount of time, SWTA quickly become a cornerstone in the Spring Woodlands area for teaching kids how to play tennis correctly. Tennis is a skill sport so anybody can learn to play with lessons and dedicated practice.
SWTA is committed to helping players from beginners thru advanced. We offer a system and a pathway of programs starting with our Red Raiders program (5-10yr olds), having never held a racket, to our elite private coaching where players receive college tennis scholarships. We are proud to offer opportunities for all players to reach their goals in tennis.
Our teaching professionals include certified professionals, collegiate national champions and Davis Cup players with pro tour experience. But most of all, we have a passion for helping young people learn and compete in the sport. We use the latest technologies to our advantage, tracking our students progress, setting attainable goals and conducting evaluation to help maintain student focus and ensure progress is made during every practice.
