Our curriculum is as follows:

Grips –Our students are taught the proper grips that are to be used for various shots, such as the serve & volley, the groundstroke and specialty shots. An example of why this is so important is one of the serve vs. the groundstroke. Both require different grips, if not taught properly, a player could end up using the groundstroke grip as the service grip, which will prevent the player from developing a good serve. I see problem this a lot among kids who are not taught the proper grip in the first stages of development.

Swing Patterns – Our students are taught proper “swing patterns”. This will allow them to execute consistent and reliable ground strokes and maintain good balance while doing so.

Footwork – Footwork is the core of our training. We firmly believe that you can not hit the ball unless you can get to the ball, therefore we spend quality time on footwork, speed, and agility drills to enhance quickness, balance, and endurance.

Sportsmanship –Our mission is to develop character, and good sportsmanship is a key element in building character. Respect for the game, respect for the opponent, and respect for the coaches are important objectives that we encourage daily. We discuss the importance of sportsmanship and give examples of before we step on the court for training. As a coach I have seen the lack of sportsmanship in youth sports and take it personal. My goal is to make that the most important objective in our training. The tools we use to achieve our goals are simple as well.

They are as follows:
Discipline
Structure
Patience

Passion for the game of tennis…!
