Taking Our Students to Collegiate Level Play

Class of 2012 is On the Move

It's a big year at the Academy with so many seniors graduating and heading off to college. Currently our scholarship recipients have been Derek Klein who will attend Cal Poly. Cal Poly is currently ranked in the top 30 in the country. Derek is ranked in the top ten in the boy's 18s (his first year in the age group) in Southern Cal. Derek was recently featured on the Tennisrecruiting website. Jack McCullers has been appointed to the Air Force Academy. Jack is the school's top recruit and is currently ranked in the top 20 in Southern Cal. Robbie Shaw has been accepted at MIT, Yale, and Cal Tech. He is waiting to hear from Princeton and Stanford before making his decision. Jakob Karnopp has been accepted at Tulane University.

Recruitment is Key

Not only do Giavara Tennis Academy students increase their competitive ranking through tournament play, but Ken and Jason carry that success to the next step by maximizing the visibility of their students as college prospects. Please view the tennisrecruiting.com website to see feature articles on our students-- Derek Klein and Jack Murphy.

Congratulations to Derek Klein on being the top tennis recruit for Cal Poly University. Cal Poly was ranked #38 in the country last year.  Read Article
