Founded in 2006 at Newport Beach Tennis Club, Grip n Rip Tennis is dedicated to developing young players from their first steps on the court to competitive excellence. Our programs, starting with the Gripper Development Program, focus on teaching the fundamentals of tennis, while the Ripper Performance Program helps players refine their skills for higher levels of play. We also host numerous UTR match play events, giving players the chance to put their skills into action in real match scenarios.

Our mission is to foster a love for tennis in every child, using a positive and engaging teaching approach. We provide age-appropriate equipment, fun drills, and competitive play to build confidence and ensure a sense of accomplishment at every stage. From beginners learning to grip the racquet to advanced players mastering their game, we create a clear pathway for their development.

For 18 years, our Swing & Smash Summer Tennis Camp has been a highlight, with 2024 marking a record 750 participants. We’re proud to be a leading youth tennis program in Orange County, helping kids grow both on and off the court.
