Message From the Coach

With summer right around the corner, it's important that players create an "action plan" for their summer tennis. This should include...
  • A break period. Vacation, etc Or just a low intensity week or two
  • Plan out their lessons or even ad extra lessons to work on specific skills they want mastered by the beginning of the school year.
  • Please their summer tournament season.
  • Create a fitness schedule to accentuate their advantages as well as improve their areas of need.
  • Play matches play matches play matches play matches
Summer is the time of year we typically see players make the biggest "jumps" in their tennis game.

Summer Schedule

All players will keep their current lesson slots unless you decide to give it up in favor of a new one.

In addition, I have added a number of summer lesson slots during the day time including some at Leander High School on Fridays.

In the next week or so I will be contacting all of my players via text confirming their lesson slot as well as sending them some group options as well.
