To all of the families, parents, players, and supporters who have been part of the PNW Competitive Edge Tennis Academy journey over the years — thank you.

After many years of living and building within the Cupertino and San Francisco Bay Area community, the decision has been made for me to transition from my role as Director of Tennis for PNW Competitive Edge Tennis Academy into a new chapter as Executive Director of Tennis for The Club of Riverdale in New York City.

This was not an easy decision for me.

California has been home for many years, and through PNW I have had the privilege of building meaningful relationships with so many wonderful families and young athletes. I have watched many of your children grow from elementary school into middle school, and from middle school into high school — not only as tennis players, but as young people learning confidence, discipline, resilience, and character through sport.

The memories created throughout this journey will always remain deeply meaningful to me.

The images displayed here represent more than tennis programs and training sessions. They represent years of community, growth, laughter, learning, challenges overcome, and the shared experience of helping young people discover themselves through the game of tennis.

While difficult, I believe the timing is right for where I currently am in life and where I am being called to grow professionally and personally.

Though this chapter of daily tennis operations in California comes to a close, the broader mission of PNW Sports & Wellness Development will continue through wellness initiatives, mentorship, authorship, media projects, and future development work still connected to the values that helped build this community in the first place.

Thank you all sincerely for your trust, support, kindness, and belief in me throughout this journey.

With Gratitude,

Elsio A.F. Eybrecht
