Our mission is to help people learn tennis skills, improve performance and reach their potential, while recognizing and providing for their social, emotional and personal need. We help players grow and develop as individuals, to win and to enjoy themselves on the court. 

Our program is committed to high performance in all areas, for all players regardless of their stage of development. All classes have a 4:1 student-teacher ratio and are taught by Petar Kanev.
