PTA Junior Development Program
PTA is committed to providing the most complete, comprehensive Tennis Development program for young athletes around the world. Through our Junior Development Program and our Academy, all of our players get the most comprehensive program for any size club or facility.
The PTA Junior Development Program is a complete development pathway for all ages and level players. Our program focuses on the key elements of playing the game as we focus on the tactical side that is then supported by technical development. Our players learn to play the game and not simply learn the strokes. We want our players quickly learning to serve, rally and score and build on game development. Through their time with us we spend crucial time developing their athletic skills, movement, agility, balance, and coordination. We have specific benchmarks that we want our players to achieve during their training and we share all of this with parents in a variety of different ways.
Premier Tennis Academy
The next step for our players is to move into our Premier Tennis Academy as they learn to compete at a higher level. PTA drive to make the most complete tennis athletes by focusing on 6 key aspects of their development. We implement planning and goal setting, growth and development key points, and work strategically on and off the court. Our players have sound fundamental skills, learn to problem solve, and the most complete game possible,
We do this with competency based coaching which prepares students to continue becoming players, rather than hitters. There are only 5 areas of playing the sport of tennis and that is where we spend ALL of our time with our players. These are the 5-play situation of tennis. Baseline play, serve, return, transitioning forward and your opponents transitioning forward. Within these areas are the strokes themselves but these 5 areas is how we play our sport.
We will continue to focus and develop all our players through these aspect of the game.

Philosophy
- Our philosophy is to create exceptional athletes while building distinctive mental and physical qualities in each individual. Our program is built on a player first platform.
- Each player has his or her own style and development timeline therefore each family needs to understand what that timeline is. We then develop and implement a plan of growth that is unique to the athlete.
- Through periodization we customize each program and set periodic expectations for achievement.
- We meet with each family and customize a personal plan. Our program is unique to each player and does not seek to teach general styles but is based solely on fundamental technical, physical, nutritional, tactical and mental foundations.
