OUR PHILOSOPHY:
 
 
By developing the physical condition of a player, alongwith the timing in all strokes of the game, a player can be developed to his/her fullest potential. The 3 "T" s that goes to making a great player are, 'Talent' , 'Timing' and 'Temporament'. We want to get the player and the parents informed of these core areas, and begin working at the very early onset.  Focusing on the 'PERFORMANCE' than the 'OUTCOME' is very VITAL to the development and the well being of the player.
 
Once a great coach told his player, "You do't play the person on the other side of the net... but you play the ball that comes over....".  We focus on our players returning the 'ball that comes over the net', may it be a lob, dropshot, fast serves, volleys, or ground strokes with varried spins. If our players can 'PERFORM' this task longer than the opponents, the obvious 'OUTCOME' is a victory.
