During this stage, players will demonstrate skills, abilities and the desire to continue playing tennis for recreational purposes or pursue a more intense push to Yellow Elite and a desire to play college/professional tennis.
Group sessions form the second stepping stone in our Player Competitive Pathway. More variables, higher intensity, more stress and a need for faster thinking are all introduced here with less coach involvement, more self-exploration and team building. Keystone performance strengths will be introduced here throughout the year.
