Our tournament Academy Program has been designed to help every player reach his/her realistic tennis potential. This Academy program is for current tournament players and players that are just starting in USTA competition.
Our student focus will be on: group and individualized training, tournament planning and goal setting. Our tournament level training philosophy is that there is no substitute for fundamentals and hard work. In practice emphasis will be placed on developing players technical and tactical skills in all major areas of play; ground strokes, approaching passing, net play serves/returns, and point play and competition. Players will have an opportunity to work on their technique, while learning how to develop points, be aggressive or defensive, how to neutralize or finish points. We will encourage players to develop shot selection and point building patterns associated with the principles of high percentage tennis. Also, we have organized group workouts which will address all components of physical development for a junior tennis player. These include: movement preparation (dynamic stretching), power and plyometrics, movement skills, endurance development, recovery and regeneration (static stretching) John DeFilippo, Director SITC
