High Performance Junior Program

Our off-court training is tailored to the needs of developing junior athletes. Players work through a structured progression focusing on:

• Agility and Footwork Speed: Quickness, directional changes, and explosive first steps
   
• Strength & Power Development: Age-appropriate functional strength, core stability, and rotational strength
   
• Tennis-Specific Movement Patterns: Balance, recovery steps, transition footwork, and coordination
   
• Endurance & Conditioning: Aerobic and anaerobic fitness to support long points and long matches
   
• Injury Prevention: Mobility, flexibility, joint stability, and proper warm-up and cool-down routines
   

This foundation prepares athletes to train at a high intensity on court and reduces the risk of overuse injuries.

Players work through advanced technical and tactical drills that challenge their consistency, movement, and shot quality. Emphasis is placed on:

• Clean, efficient stroke mechanics
   
• Controlled topspin and depth
   
• Court positioning and footwork discipline
   
• Consistency under pressure

To simulate match environments, athletes participate in competitive live ball scenarios such as:

• Rally progression drills
   
• Approach and transition patterns
   
• Offensive and defensive point building
   
• Directional control and shot selection
   

These sessions develop problem-solving skills and force players to make decisions at game speed.

Players learn how to construct points intelligently, based on their strengths and the situations presented. Training includes:

• Pattern development (serve +1, return +1, rally patterns)
   
• Exploiting opponent weaknesses
   
• Shot tolerance and patience
   
• Tactical awareness in singles and doubles
   

Coaches provide real-time feedback to help players translate strategy into confident execution.
