Key Tennis Interests

I pay special attention to beginners and intermediate level players. My goal is to give every new player or returning player an environment where they can enjoy the sport and hopefully use it as their stepping stone to bigger and greater things. Tennis is a great platform to gain confidence and believe in oneself.

Beginner

We work with the Red Ball (Stage 1) on a mini court environment. Kids gain confidence through hitting a softer and lighter ball. This also contributes to a better technique which must be attainted in order to prevent injury in later life.

Intermediate

We work with green or orange ball (Stage 2 or Stage 3). Hopefully by now all technical flaws have been ironed out and we are able to increase the size of the court and have the kids playing on a bigger scale. We focus on footwork and positioning for maximum output on all shots

Adult

players will move on to the Stage 2 or Stage 3 balls and then the yellow ball. Advanced players looking for an environment to tweak some technical and situational aspects of their game are welcome too. All facets of the game are worked on.
