High Performance 1 junior program is our flagship class, designed for students who are trying to earn Division I scholarships and potentially turn professional. Our underlying philosophy is to use tennis as a vehicle to work on character first, learn to work hard and learn to master the self.
Second, is to use tennis to facilitate and create the opportunity to get an education. We strive for our students to earn Division I scholarships, allowing them to earn a degree while playing tennis. If this goal is attained, we can also discuss the opportunity of playing professionally.
In HP1 class we work methodically through the five chapters:
Ages 12-18
Our system is designed around a “pathway”, starting from the red/green/orange dot program and graduating into the high school or high performance program, and then developing fully as a competitive player.
We try not to rush advancement from one class to another, and instead focus on full mastery of what that level has to offer. Moving up is normally done at the recommendation of the coach, when they feel the student is ready.
We also like to keep certain groups together who train well with each other.
We believe that a competitive environment is the best place to learn to compete. We try to create a place that is highly competitive, and where students are pushing themselves to improve through all levels: technically, athletically, strategically, and in the field of self-mastery.
