From the Founder
At Tennis Anyone we are passionate about our sport because we have enjoyed so many of the benefits of being involved in the game over the years. Like no other sport, tennis seems to be on its own in bringing families together. It is a sport that truly can be enjoyed for a lifetime and played all around the world. The name "Tennis Anyone" of course came from the old cliche, however, we selected it because we knew that it spoke for everyone. We have worked hard to establish programs for players at all ages and levels. We love what we do and we are passionate about our sport and our students!

Coach Bill
Coach Bill Bush grew up in Upland, California and started playing tennis at the age of 10 when his father traded tennis lessons for physics tutoring with a high school neighbor named Rick Vargas.
“I can remember our first lesson vividly. Rick would feed me the ball and I would intentionally blast it over the fence into the grass field behind the courts. I had no interest in playing tennis, but Rick was so patient with me, and after a while I really started to enjoy it. By the time I had been playing for a few years you couldn’t drag me off the courts. I can honestly say that tennis changed my life, and I’ve been playing ever since.”
After competing for Upland High School and finishing off the year at number 1 in the Boy’s 18’s doubles and 25 in Singles in Southern California, Bill attended Azusa Pacific University on a tennis scholarship and graduated in 1997 with a degree in Psychology. Throughout College Bill supported himself by coaching tennis with the City of Chino Parks & Rec.
“After college I had to make a decision as to weather or not I was going to keep teaching tennis. There was some pressure to move on and get what was considered to be a real job. I thought a lot about what I wanted out of a career and life. I knew that I loved working with people and helping them. I also felt that tennis was such a tremendously positive way for youngsters and adults to learn about life...to have a constructive outlet for stress...and lend to families a means of recreation together.”
In creating our learning system for young students we have borrowed from the martial arts. We have 12 different levels from beginning to advanced, each one represented by a unique animal, distinguished by its positive attributes. Students are tested at the end of every session and those that pass recieve a patch representing mastery of that level.

Creating tennis products has been an awesome experience for us, because the motivation has always come from enhancing the experience of the player. Selling those products has always been an after thought. The ACE Tennis Workbook was born out of years of creating helpful projects for our tennis students until finally it made more sense to put them together into an interactive book.
Our clothing and apparel line came out of the frustration of always proudly dawning surfing and skating apparel to school, and meanwhile sneaking off to play tennis. We finally got to a point where we decided to give tennis players the option of representing our great sport with cool attire. Who knows, maybe one day, non-tennis players will be proudly strutting thier stuff wearing their tennis digs.
