TECHNICAL
Focus on the fundamentals. These sessions emphasize stroke mechanics, footwork, and consistency. Players receive instruction and feedback on technique, with plenty of repetition and ball-feeding drills. Best for players looking to refine form and build a strong technical foundation
TACTICAL & LIVE BALL
Match-style training. These sessions emphasize point play, shot selection, and competitive situations. Coaches set up live-ball drills and tactical scenarios to develop strategy, decision-making, and competitiveness. Best for players who want a faster pace and to translate skills into match play.
105
High-energy tennis format. 105 tennis is a fast-paced, point based informal doubles-style game where teams race to get to 105 points. Agressive play is rewarded with higher point values for specific winners: 20 for an overhead winner, 10 for a volley winner, 5 for a groundstroke winner, and 1 for other points. Best for players who want a workout and game-style practice in a social setting
