Passion is the beating heart of Evolve. Coupled with a combined 20+ years’ experience in tennis coaching (10 of those years at Pro ITF qualification level), Evolve is well-equipped to deliver structured individual and group programmes to improve players' skills, emphasising tennis etiquette and sportsmanship, while providing an enjoyable atmosphere. Our working environment is positive and our energetic reputation speaks for itself. Evolve operates from the well-maintained Jan Celliers (Parkwood) and Glenhazel tennis venues on a full-time basis. All coaches are fully qualified, and SATA registered. We deliver fully structured and revitalised tennis programmes to clients, including individual, semi-private and group lessons, teddy tennis, clinics, tournaments, leagues, social and so much more.
Our vision
We aim to inspire and encourage players to evolve in their game and be the best they can be. The Evolve motto is: “Every player can optimise his or her abilities!”
Our mission
Our goal is to provide professional coaching whilst nurturing tennis players’ individual talents in a safe, enjoyable and supportive environment.
Our vision and mission reflect our core values: integrity and excellence, professionalism, care, fun and progress.
The simple fact is that we love tennis! Our amazing coaches really care about providing you with the very best professional tennis coaching. We live tennis and push every player to improve to whatever goals he or she has. We look forward to working with you and having you play at our prestige tennis courts. Everyone is welcome - all ages, levels and aspirations (fun, fitness, friendship, personal mastery or ambitions to be a world no.1).

EVOLVE MEANS TO DEVELOP GRADUALLY
Gradual development is how Evolve Tennis Academy came into existence.
The three logo colours represent the coaching career of Director Danie van Zyl.
High Performance Tennis Academy (HPTA) was where his coaching career began assistant coach and two years later as head coach. 40 Love Tennis followed and was built by Danie from ‘love’ to the successful academy it is today.
Evolve Tennis Academy is the new start, the new challenge and the result of a man that is passionate about continuously building successful business adventures from scratch.
