All sessions are open to players of all abilities unless otherwise noted. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff in a 1.5 hour evaluation session after check-in, so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. Throughout the week, the focus shifts between the technical, tactical, physical, and mental aspects of tennis. Mornings focus on the technique while afternoons are geared towards match-play situations.
