One of the leading tennis minds in San Diego, our Director of Youth Tennis, Michael Bucher, is a top-tier technician, tactician, and program builder.
After spending a decade helping to direct the high performance program at the renown Barnes Tennis Center, Michael left to build an academy of his own. And soon after, the La Jolla Tennis Academy was born. Michael built it from the ground up, and now, 4 years in, the academy is thriving, consistently full with a waitlist program to join.
Michael has helped thousands of players of all ages and levels advance their game. And he can help you too.
