Absolutely not! Evolution Tennis Academy is open to ALL players from every school and community in the Treasure Valley.

Our summer programs primarily serve junior players ages 10–18 across multiple age-appropriate groups. Private lessons are available for all ages, including adults. If you have a younger child interested in starting earlier, contact us — we'll help you find the right fit.
