WHAT WE DO

Since 2007, No Quit has been helping players achieve their dreams. 100% of full-time players have received college scholarships in the past 5 years.

Our Executive Director, Tim Blenkiron, has been playing and coaching tennis since he was 2 years old. He has dedicated his life to the sport, and along the way has worked for Andre Agassi and the USTA, as well as having coached on the WTA Tour. Blenkiron has handpicked and personally trained a diverse group of coaches with international experience. They include former College & Professional tennis players, Fitness Trainers, Mental Specialists and more.

Our culture is built around doing the very best we can, every day. Whatever your goals are, we will help you achieve them.

 

 OUR PHILOSOPHY

We founded the academy after seeing many scholar-athletes quit on themselves. Players would quit tennis literally, or emotionally and mentally due to burnout. We sought to offer a more inspirational and effective alternative to drastically reduce burnout and increase players’ passion and personal engagement. The best players are not those who play the most, but the ones who have the proper eco-system around them. This includes a strong emphasis on teamwork, mindset, and scientifically proven practices for physical, social, emotional, and mental training.

The No Quit Tennis Academy is built on a philosophy that emphasizes growth mindsets, the pursuit of excellence, and a set of core values including honesty, patience, hard work, empathy, understanding, and integrity. 

Our promise: If one lets go of negative thoughts, makes right choices, gives their best and has an amazing attitude, everything will work out better than they could ever imagine.

 

TESTIMONIALS

I am yet to find a group with better energy, heart, and competitive drive. The culture at the academy is unlike any other - it’s why they have such high success. 110 College Scholarships and a 100% success rate. Extraordinary habits = extraordinary results. I’m just grateful to be a part of it all.
— Selena Williams, Brown University; Class of 2025
No Quit is an absolutely incredible academy and I’m so lucky to have been apart of it! There is so much genuine care and kindness among the players and from the coaches both on and off the court! I’ve never been apart of another academy that cares about me off the court so much as it does on the court improving as a player, but also as a person! The coaches make practice fun and always gave me something to look forward everyday! It is a challenging but very welcoming environment that also relies on the student’s motivation to improve. All the resources are there and there are so many people to help! So grateful for No Quit and have nothing but good things to say about it!!
— Chloe Henderson, Williams College; Class of 2020
An amazing program that not only creates great players, but great people. It gives opportunities of growth and self improvement, provides guidance to children. It has changed my life, couldn’t be more grateful.
— Anna Tiurina, Western New Mexico University; Class of 2015
So grateful for No Quit Tennis Academy! It is a privilege to have our children part of this amazing program. Because we have children ranging from 2-13 yrs old, we’ve experienced first hand the expertise and care of all of the coaches. They are knowledgeable, professional and personally invested in the growth of our children. The director is available to students and parents and gives expert individualized advice and support. Our kids are continually challenged and are growing more proficient and confident. Love being part of the No Quit Family!
