What R S TENNIS ACADEMY LLC does

RS Tennis Academy LLC is a privately held, founder-operated junior tennis training academy based in San Mateo, California. All programs are delivered at a single venue — San Mateo High School — under the direction of Academy Director Riaz Shivji. The academy runs year-round tennis programming for players ages 9 through 18, organized into two distinct pathways: a Tennis Development pathway (Green Ball 'B' Team and Tennis Development Team) for beginner, novice, and intermediate players building fundamentals, and a Competitive Player pathway (Green Ball 'A' Team, Bronze Team, Silver Team) for tournament-level and varsity-bound juniors. Programs are offered seasonally (Winter and Fall programs are explicitly listed), each running 12 weeks at $1,100 per session, with select juniors invited into supplemental small-group and 1-on-1 lessons.

The academy requires an RS Exclusive Coaching Agreement for accepted competitive players, under which RS Tennis becomes the sole coaching provider for lessons, groups, clinics, and matchplay, and players represent the academy in USTA, UTR, and team tennis competition. Enrollment is direct-to-consumer: parents email the Academy Director with player details, subscribe to the academy newsletter, and formally accept the agreement. Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), an email newsletter, and the rstennis.com website. There is no proprietary technology, mobile application, or AI component — the offering is fundamentally a service business dependent on the coaching staff and the single San Mateo High School venue partnership.

The business model is straightforward services revenue: per-session tuition ($1,100 per 12-week season) across tiered squads, supplemented by an undisclosed volume of 1-on-1 lessons and small-group training for select juniors. No funding, headcount figures, financial disclosures, patents, certifications, or institutional investors are referenced in the source material. Ownership and operations appear to rest entirely with Riaz Shivji as the sole named individual.
