High Intensity Training (HIT). (Ages 11 - 18)
This Spring Topspin Tennis Academy is launching a new pilot program for players in our Varsity Bound age group. Our HIT will be a more intensive, focused, and driven group.
If you know tennis is "your" sport and you want to really wok on and elevate your game, this is the program for you.
What are the attributes we want these players to exhibit? Purposeful, Adaptable, Teachable, and Honorable. We want you to come with Positive Attitude, be Tenacious, and Humble.
While ability will be a component for participating in this program, attitude matters more. It is not enough to enjoy the sport. Players must embrace the work it takes to elevate their game and be willing to look toward long-term success.
Playing with the HIT will have 3 major components.
- Training - Training will be a combination of on court, cardio, strength, agility, flexibility, and mental. Generally, once a week, but we will try to work with players that would like to do it twice a week.
- Lessons - We will combine training with lessons once a week. Generally, these will be semi-private lessons but will try and work with participants that would prefer to have private ones.
- Match Play - We will incorporate what we are learning in training and lessons into matches once a week. We will also work with families to encourage them to participate in USTA tournaments at least once a season.
School Team Conflicts
Many participants have conflicts with School teams in the Spring for boys, and in the Fall for girls. Schedules vary greatly between high school and middle schools and district to district. We hope and encourage all of our players to be playing for their schools. We will work with players that are looking to participate with HIT that is also playing for their school. In those cases, players will participate in weekly lessons, be encouraged to participate in weekend match play, and have the option to participate or drop in on the weekly training. All players will be expected to rejoin the program in its entirety and the conclusion of their season. We will prorate costs appropriately.
If you would like to be considered for this program please contact, David Sheaffer at 215-906-0407.
