High Performance

This is an invitational program. Players in the program compete in USTA tournaments and/or are high level varsity players. In addition to at least one clinic per week, participants must take a private lesson and a cross fit class. Our philosophy is based on the idea that there is no substitute for fundamentals and hard work. Practices emphasize developing players’ technical and tactical skills in all major areas of play; ground strokes, approaching, passing, net play, serves, returns and of course point play and competition. While we help foster a player’s personal style, there will still be significant focus on incorporating that style within sound shot selection and mental toughness.

Match Play

Students will be divided according to ability into singles and double matches. All monitored by a pro, who will be providing advice and tips on strategy, positioning, etc.

PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR TENNIS SHOES AND PROVIDE THEIR OWN TENNIS RACQUETS.
