High-Performance Academy (HPA) summer training sessions are designed to complement our year-long developmental plan for tournament-level players participating in high-level USTA National & Sectional tournaments Level 1-4. Practices feature appropriate playing progressions and proper technique, tactical and tournament guidance, as well as match play and fitness sessions to help players achieve their personal performance and outcome goals. The HPA program is also designed to structure practices appropriately to help players prepare for the upcoming tournaments, including practicing on court surfaces reflecting the upcoming higher-level tournament needs (when available).
All performance programs require commitment and patience from players, coaches, and parents. Players in this program demonstrate coachability, effort, and sportsmanship in both practice and competition.
Some classes require a designation for registration. Complete the Junior Designation Form here.
Player progression to the next level class in our Program pathway depends on several factors: age (chronological vs. biological), how often they play, maturity, etc. We focus on having players fully develop skills before advancing to ensure they are successful and have confidence at the next level. It is very common for players to be in a class for more than one session; this does not mean that your child is not progressing! Rather, we are cementing skills. Our coaching methods are designed to challenge each player individually. Read Our Move-Up Policy
