Skills & Benefits

Drills are focused on developing the basic shape of each stroke and their variations, including: forehand, backhand, serve, overhead, volley, slice, drop shots, and the like. Do you have a strategy of play or do you simply return the ball? Do you go cross court or down the line? Where should I place my serve? The staff’s attention to players emphasizes the development of key fundamental areas for optimal play.
