Teaching Style

Using a variety of proven drills within a progressive learning method, a student is systematically guided through the fundamentals of stroke formation and footwork, while concurrently developing the brain and muscle memory necessary for excellent consistency
in the three major strokes of the game: ground strokes, serve and volley. For the beginner, the entire sport is broken down into increments that are studied in a step-by-step process to enable the student to acquire the requisite hand-eye coordination, timing and spatial relations.For the intermediate and advanced level players, the program offers a vast array of shot specific and game situational drills for singles and doubles, that offers the student the opportunity to master more complex shot selection and strategic play in a simulated competitive environment.
