Tier 1 Performance Tennis Academy was co-founded by Filipp Pogostkin and his partners Eric Diaz and Jason Leavitt during the challenging times of COVID.
Filipp, a leader in junior development in the Pacific Northwest and former director of a USTA training center, embarked on a journey that would redefine tennis coaching and development. His vision led him to California, where he met Eric and Jay. Together, they shared a singular passion: to create a tennis academy that excels in every aspect. The formula was straightforward yet powerful – quality coaching, attention to the smallest detail, and an unwavering commitment to the player.
Our Journey to Excellence:
This simple yet effective approach quickly bore fruit, catapulting Tier 1 Performance into the limelight. Within just three years, our academy has achieved remarkable success, developing multiple Easter Bowl champions, a Wimbledon champion, two-time Kalamazoo champion, 12 Blue chip players, and nationally ranked #1 player in various divisions. Our commitment to excellence has not only shaped champions but has also established Tier 1 Performance as a nationally recognized development program for elite players.

Our Commitment to the Community:
Filipp Pogostkin, a native of the PNW, has always been driven by the desire to give back to his home community. This aspiration found its fulfillment in a natural partnership with WSC, aimed at elevating its high-performance program. Through this collaboration, Tier 1 Performance continues to contribute significantly to the tennis landscape of the PNW.
