About us


Philosophy

We help players of all ages and ability levels develop a passion and love for tennis. We work closely with players to assist in their development as players and people, emphasizing teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship.

Individual Attention

We make individual attention a priority and look to provide a student to coach ratio no larger than 6:1. We ensure that campers are grouped appropriately based on skill level and age.

Developing Skills

We use a variety of drills and games to challenge players to build skills and become more knowledgeable while having fun. Our instruction covers different aspects of tennis, ranging from footwork to situational tactics. Our stroke techniques are based on simplicity and efficiency to generate effortless power.
