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.
