Letter to the Parent…

We propose to operate the most professional tennis camp possible by using hands-on expertise employed by ourselves in shaping our own tennis careers.

We believe tennis is comprised of four main areas: Mental Tennis, Fundamentals, Movement and Physical Stamina. Our goal is to ensure that our students improve by developing all of the above areas (combined with match play everyday).

Our staff of college players and coaches will use these standardized methods under our supervision. Students will watch themselves on videotape, have classroom lessons and watch tapes of tennis matches.

Students will be grouped in ability levels from tournament level to developmental levels. At the same time, we will make every effort to combine training with supervised group activities for an enjoyable experience.

We will care for your child in the same manner we would care for our own, in a safe, supervised environment.
