MEET YOUR GUIDE Hey, I'm Brandon Sieh, founder of On The Rise Tennis Academy. For over 20 years, I've been helping tennis players of all ages and ability levels improve their skills and reach their goals. I believe a positive first experience can make a lasting difference in a child's relationship with tennis. Learning should be enjoyable, encouraging, and focused on steady progress—not pressure or comparisons. My goal is to help young players build confidence, develop strong fundamentals, and enjoy every step of their tennis journey.

What Beginners Are Saying
Real progress starts with the right guidance.
I always wanted to learn tennis but felt a little intimidated as a complete beginner. Having simple explanations of the basics made getting started feel much easier.
This guide makes tennis feel less complicated. I especially liked the breakdown of the different strokes and the four-week practice plan. It's a great starting point!
I wish I had something like this when I first started learning tennis! The explanations are easy to follow, and it helped me understand the game and what to focus on during practice.
