Our mission
Welcome to Tiny Tennis

More than a lesson. A place kids can’t wait to get to.

We believe tennis should feel like play — not pressure. Every class is built around movement, laughter, and small wins that add up to real skill.

Tiny Tennis Academy has spent three decades introducing Los Angeles kids to the game the right way: patient coaching, tiny groups, and a whole lot of encouragement. Whether your little one is picking up a racket for the very first time or chasing their first tournament trophy, we meet them exactly where they are.

The result? Kids who move better, focus longer, and walk off the court taller than they walked on — with new friends by their side.

Coach Steve Joyner

Founder & Head Professional · 30+ Years

For more than three decades, Steve Joyner has done one thing better than anyone: make kids fall in love with tennis. His gift isn’t just technique — it’s patience, energy, and an uncanny ability to get a nervous four-year-old grinning by the end of their very first class.

Steve built Tiny Tennis on a simple belief — that the right start changes everything. Every drill he designs is equal parts skill and play, so children build a foundation that lasts long after they leave the court.

  • Coached thousands of LA kids
  • Ages 2.5 through competitive juniors
  • Game-based, tournament-tested method
  • Coaches with heart, first and always
The Tiny Tennis Way

How we turn tiny into terrific

A proven, four-part approach that keeps kids moving, learning and smiling — every single class.

01

Small groups, big attention

Low coach-to-kid ratios mean your child is seen, coached and cheered on every rep — never lost in a crowd.

02

Learning through games

Cones, colors, targets and challenges. Kids think they’re playing — they’re actually mastering the fundamentals.

03

Footwork & confidence

Agility circuits build the movement — and the self-belief — that carries onto the court and into everything else.

04

Friends for the long game

The bonds kids build here last well beyond the session — because players become friends, and friends keep coming back.

“My daughter Tatiana is four and she asks to go to tennis every single day now. Coach Steve is so patient and she’s learned more than I ever imagined a little one could. We’re hooked.”

“The small groups make all the difference. Our son gets real attention every class and his footwork and focus have improved so much. Best decision we made this year.”
