Philosophy
|
| Our coaching
staff not only instructs players in how to play tennis and
sports, but also encourages them to have respect for
everyone, behave in a sportsmanlike manner, and understand
the importance of working in groups. We feel that we are
more than coaches we are educators, friends and much more.
Players are trained in technical, physical, tactical, and
mental aspects of the game. Each player is different with
some being faster, some stronger, some more skillful, and
some quicker. Our staff addresses these differences in
individual and group training. |
