High Performance Training

MISSION

To develop a high-performance tennis academy cultivating highly competitive junior tennis players through intensive training covering technical, strategic, physical, and psychological aspects of the game.

VISION

To become the benchmark high-performance tennis academy in the United States, developing players with an outstanding tennis training career taking them to their next level.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Tennis is a beautiful, individual, and challenging sport that offers many life-long benefits for your child. Practicing tennis not only engages young players in a positive environment to learn physical and mental discipline but also teaches them to challenge themselves through the activities.

Our philosophy of teaching junior tennis is aligned with ITF, USTA, and USPTA experts from around the world to help players develop their tennis skills from a very young age. Playing with different balls (red, orange, green, and yellow), racquets, and small court dimensions, we teach children to serve, rally, and compete while using equipment more appropriate to their age and reducing the chance of injury.

LET'S START




RED BALL

5 - 8 YEARS OLD

The red ball is designed for tennis players eight years old and under; this level is an essential step in establishing the fundamentals of the game.


Students focus on hand-eye coordination, as well as technique, control, and balance. With this foundation in place, students gain confidence, have fun, and develop a love for the game that will last a lifetime.
Children often find tennis more challenging to learn if they skip these crucial steps. It is essential to have a coach who engages with the players and gives positive feedback.
Using the correct type of balls allows young tennis players to become more successful and have fun since they can achieve their goal. Players will learn the feeling of different strokes and develop a sense of touch. Practices should offer children engagement from the coach and various games that will further assist their hand-eye coordination.

ORANGE BALL

9 - 11 YEARS OLD

Orange ball builds the foundation for playing in competitive situations. Children begin to develop the tools necessary to select and execute the best shot at any given moment on the court.


Players should also be simultaneously perfecting the fundamentals of the strokes that were learned with red balls. The children start looking more developed physically and are technically more able to execute everything they learned in the red ball phase, but on a bigger court size with smaller balls.
Players should also be working more specifically on different types of footwork and movement that will allow them to execute a better shot for a different situation of the game. In this stage, it is encouraged to begin playing tournaments and introduce children to the pressures of tournament play.

GREEN BALL

11 - 12 YEARS OLD

The next progression level is Green Ball, where the kids will play on a full-court for the first time, but with slower balls.


We will apply different tactics and strategy drills in every practice for a better understanding of the game. It is important to reiterate that proper technique will give children the tools to succeed in this next phase, to employ tactics and strategy successfully, to move the ball around the court, and be able to understand which shot to execute.
The kids will train on different exercises focusing on conditioning and realistic games that would help players become mentally stronger. Tournaments should be a regular part of the tennis schedule as well.

YELLOW BALL

12 & ABOVE

The final progression level is Yellow Ball, which utilizes both full court and standard tennis balls. Players typically need an optimum and similar training program as before, focusing more on their particular situation.


At this time, we develop a rigorous conditioning program while maintaining the players’ physical and mental strength through realistic match conditions and other competitive scenarios. The player and coach should also take this time to start developing a particular play style. The kids should play tennis tournaments regularly.

OUR TRAINING





ABOUT ME

I am from the city of Barquisimeto, Venezuela. When I was 7 years old I had an incredible feeling when I touch a tennis racket for the first time. I started as a tennis player like any other kid that used to play twice a week for a couple of hours. After a year of lessons, I realized that I had found the passion and feel that adrenaline for the sport that fulfilled my life.


At the beginning, tennis was part of my routine and I started to train 6 days a week where I used to play not only on the clinics but on my own. When I was 9 years old I started to play regionals and nationals to get the ranking that I needed to qualify and participate in the South American and World tournaments winning the major categories for 12&Under, 14&Under, 16&Under and 18&Under. My hard work, dedication, and incredibly family support encourage me to reach number 1 in Venezuela at the age of 12, ranked in the top 100’s in the ITF and playing the Fed Cup representing Venezuela by the age of 15 and graduated with a scholarship in division 1 in college in USA.


More than a coach I want to be a inspirational figured that will prepare the new tennis generations to love the sport.
