Our tournament training clinic is designed to develop all aspects of an aspiring tennis players’ game. The tournament training clinic is up-tempo, combining mental and physical skills and with technique, strategy, and fitness. Players will improve their patterns of play, decision making, as well as increased focus on doubles. Our coaches will also highlight the importance of sportsmanship, positive attitudes, and good routines. Private lessons with our certified instructors, and matchplay, are both highly encouraged to help get your child ready for tournaments and/or high school tennis.
