About Us
Built on a Love of the Game
West Valley Tennis was founded to bring world-class coaching to the families of Goodyear and the West Valley — no travel required.
Our Mission
More Than Just Lessons
West Valley Tennis was born from a simple belief: every player deserves a coach who genuinely cares about their development. We started as a small group of passionate coaches who saw a gap in the West Valley — families driving across town for quality instruction when great coaching should be right in their neighborhood.
Today we serve hundreds of players each year, from four-year-olds picking up a racket for the first time to high school athletes competing at the varsity level. Our programs are built around small group sizes, individualized attention, and a culture where improvement is celebrated at every stage.
What Drives Us
Our Core Values
Excellence
We hold ourselves and our players to a high standard — not perfection, but consistent effort and growth.
Community
Tennis is better together. We foster a welcoming environment where players encourage each other on and off the court.
Passion
Our coaches love this game. That energy is contagious — and it's what keeps players coming back season after season.
Development
Every drill, every session, every season is designed with one goal: making you a better player than you were yesterday.
Meet the Coach
Michail "Mike" Pervolarakis
Michail "Mike" Pervolarakis offers a unique perspective forged at the highest levels of collegiate and professional tennis. As a former ATP professional with a career-high world ranking of #366 in singles and #157 in doubles, Mike understands the dedication and strategy required to compete on the international circuit.
He has proudly represented Greece in the Davis Cup, bringing a wealth of team competition experience to his coaching. His professional success was built on a standout collegiate career at the University of Portland, where he was a dominant force — honored as the West Coast Conference Player of the Year in both 2017 and 2018, leading the UP team from the top of the lineup.
During his collegiate career Mike also completed his Bachelor of Science in Psychology, graduating in 2018. This combination of elite athletic experience and a formal understanding of the mental side of performance allows him to bring a strong technical and tactical approach to every session. He excels at helping players develop not only their strokes but also their strategic thinking and on-court resilience.
Courts Built for Learning
We train at top-quality community courts in the Goodyear area, providing a safe, well-maintained environment for players of all ages. Our facilities are chosen for their accessibility, quality surfaces, and the space to run structured, high-energy sessions.
