At SDTA, our emphasis is giving students the opportunity to learn and improve all different aspects of the game from fundamentals of technique, on court movement, to tactical & mental skills in order to eventually become the best player they can be. We offer several different levels of development from advance beginner, to intermediate, to elite players that will eventually go on to play college tennis. We believe strongly in giving students the best coaching possible by having highly experience coaches combined with a low coach per student ratio in order to assure them proper all around development. Through intense technical, tactical & competitive strategy training, students will be able to develop and learn the importance of a solid work ethic that will last a lifetime. |
