Training Academy Series

The Academy Series is designed for all athletes. Our series of position and skill specific classes offer on-court skills training and discussions. The Position Academy Series builds on a base of fundamentals and provides next-level training for participants. Each program is broken down by skill and level.

See below for a variety of training opportunities for all types of players!

This Position Training Series is a six week program ran by our Master Coaches. Each program is broken down by skill, and sessions will progress each week. Sessions are maxed out at 16 per session to ensure players are getting quality coaching and reps.

• Players can register for the entire six week program – cost TBA.
• There is a discount for players who register for more than one Academy

Each day is dedicated to one skill (see schedule below). Within each day, there are three sessions that are broken down by skill level. The skill level definitions are explained below. The chart is meant to serve as a reference point to help parents decide which option is best for their player. All players will be evaluated at the first practice of the program, and coaches will communicate with players if they are in the right level. Players could be moved to up OR down, based on their skill level.

At the end of each six week program, players will receive a recommendation for the next season. Players may graduate to the next level, or coaches may recommend they stay in the same level.
