Philosophy

Overview

Success is a process that involves desire and discipline. It is our goal to facilitate that desire through discipline. Tennis builds life skills, such as commitment, perseverance and resilience that comes with success and failure. Handling failure and converting it into an asset is probably the most significant gift of tennis. Along the way you also strengthen your body and promote a life filled with good health and good choices. TENNIS BECOMES THE PRISM THROUGH WHICH LIFE IS VIEWED. Objectives such as national rankings, college scholarships and tournament placement are good motivators, but are to be viewed only as byproducts of a fulfilling relationship with the sport of tennis.

Methodology

Tennis a game of neuro-muscular reactions that are applied to the laws of physics, and are executed through biomechanical efficieny. It is very important to develop proper technique through repetition. We provide this element with our fast moving drill sessions. That is the reason we do many 2 on 1 drills. Children under the age of fifteen especially need these drills. These core movement and striking drills are used with today's professionals. They are the foundation of great tennis. Our drill sessions are augmented with common patterns of play, and these patterns are the core of our competitive drills. All the fundamentals are stressed. Proper groundstrokes, volleys, serves and returns are repeted until perfection is reached. We explore variant styles of play and how to develop those styles from a strategic point of view. Each person is taught with different mechanics to best suit them. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT EACH STUDENT HAS STROKES THAT ARE COMMESURATE WITH HIS OR HER GRIPS, STANCE AND CONTACT POINT. THE SINGULAR FLAW IN MANY PLAYERS IS THEIR INCORRECT TECHINQUE.

Commitment to Excellence

The Gestalt development of tennis involves a set plan to be worked out with one of our pros. The total improvement will come through a combination of proper drilling, match play, fitness training as well as mental preparation. THE ACADEMY’S JOB IS TO KEEP THE DESIRE BURNING AND PROVIDE A VENUE FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE SPECIFICS OF TRAINING. THE THEME OF EXCELLENCE IS IMPRESSED UPON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR PLAYERS!
