2017/18 High Performance Junior Training Programs

WELCOME NITIN AND BETHESDA TENNIS ACADEMY

After an excellent first indoor season together, I am very pleased to welcome back Nitin Deodhar and his students at the Bethesda Tennis Academy to my indoor facility this upcoming indoor season. Nitin is going to be coaching with me on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s and Friday’s. See the clinic schedule below. There are clinics on other days that Nitin will generally not be coaching at, but will help out with from time to time. Nitin and I are excited about working together this winter. We hope you can join us.

Greetings from Whitley Park!

We hope you had a great summer and are ready for another exciting season of quality tennis training at RPM TENNIS at WHITLEY PARK. My staff and I are eager to once again offer challenging intensive programs for junior players.

At RPM TENNNIS, we will strive to complement your child’s high performance tennis training with fundamental elements that will allow them to enjoy tennis for a lifetime. Some of the skills we will work on with them are:

1. Stroke development

2. Footwork

3. Shot selection

4. Consistency and accuracy

5. Serves and returns

6. Strategy and tactics

The RPM TENNIS program focuses on these, as well as other critical elements necessary to achieve higher performance tennis.

Private instruction is also available.

Call or e-mail and we will accommodate you.
