Professional Tennis Development in the Heart of the PNW
Tier 1 Performance Tennis Academy was co-founded by Filipp Pogostkin and his partners Eric Diaz and Jason Leavitt during the challenging times of COVID.
Filipp, a leader in junior development in the Pacific Northwest and former director of a USTA training center, embarked on a journey that would redefine tennis coaching and development. His vision led him to California, where he met Eric and Jay. Together, they shared a singular passion: to create a tennis academy that excels in every aspect. The formula was straightforward yet powerful – quality coaching, attention to the smallest detail, and an unwavering commitment to the player.
Tier 1 Performance offers weekly training classes as part of our 5-week sessions. We have an elite after-school program as well as a full-time training academy.
Tier 1 is an admissions-based Academy. Players apply and schedule an evaluation with a coach, ensuring they get placed in the proper training environment for their skill level.
Train with us
Tier 1 has a nationally recognized pathway and training system that has been proven by developing top ranked juniors year over year.
Our juniors are trained and developed from a young age all the way to collegiate and professional ranks.
Consistency is what separates Tier 1 from other programs. Tier 1 coaches are career coaches and are committed to the kids as they grow up.
