Master Class Series

Master Class sessions go beyond basic technique. Players will refine stroke production, improve consistency under pressure, and develop a deeper understanding of point construction and court positioning. Emphasis is placed on tactical awareness, decision-making, and executing the right shot at the right time—key elements of competitive play. 

 

Sessions will typically include:

• Advanced stroke refinement – fine-tuning mechanics for power, spin, and control 

• Situational drills – practicing real match scenarios (serve +1, defensive recovery, net play) 

• Strategy and patterns of play – learning how to build and win points 

• Match play with coaching feedback – applying concepts in live situations 

 

Master Class lessons are best suited for intermediate to advanced players who are comfortable rallying and are looking to improve their competitive edge, consistency, and overall tennis IQ.

​

As this is a new lesson program this year, we'd like to gauge interest by asking anyone whishing to participate by completing this form.  .  Cost of these sessions / clinics will be determine based on interest.
