Academy Philosophy

“To develop independent, self-reliant, strong individuals who are able to think for themselves on court”

Our philosophy at the Junior Regional Academy is to not only to produce champions on the court but also off it. With tennis being an individual sport with no outside influence once the player steps out onto the court, we strive to develop independent thinking players that are able to cope with the stresses of match play on their own. We aim to teach all of our players a strong work ethic and a disciplined nature that will help them become successful on the court in order for them to achieve both their tennis and life goals.

Academy Structure
