The Philosophy: Tennis is a microcosm of life; therefore we believe it is extremely important for juniors to be on a path of excellence, not mediocrity. Even though only a fraction of all students will be pros, treating all of them as if they can be, will help each of them. One of the greatest benefits tennis provides is that the diligence, dedication and focus necessary to achieve success on the court can be transferred to any other task or activity, thereby providing students with skills for a lifetime. Unlike most programs we believe in providing an “advanced foundation”. An advanced foundation is the principle of training all players using methodology that does not have to change for higher levels of achieved skill. This important concept goes hand in hand with being on a path of excellence.
