Welcome to the 2022 season!

This year’s t-shirt:  ‘ Growth thru Living’

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:

To provide a nurturing and fun environment where kids and adults can commit themselves to the pursuit of excellence and self-exploration while developing a healthy attitude to competition and Life through increasing body awareness and sensitivity.

Competitive tennis players all too often seem to somewhere lose the joy of simply hitting tennis balls. Our goal is to combine the pursuit of excellence with the innate desire to explore ourselves for the purposes of growth.  Why is competition so difficult? Why is losing so painful?  Why does winning feel so good?   Why does the simple joy of being in the body and playing change so dramatically when competition begins?

DIRECTOR OF TENNIS:

Happy Bhalla brings over 45 years of teaching experience to WTA. Years of striving to learn more and a sincere commitment to be the best he can be.

Our teaching style attempts to view students as wholistic individuals, rather than “just” tennis players. It combines his two passions: spirituality: living with awareness, and tennis: the pursuit of excellence. We believe “tennis can be a powerful vehicle by which individuals can increase self-awareness and thereby grow as individuals and also fulfill their athletic potential”.

PHILOSOPHY:

By placing an emphasis on the process as opposed to only the result, we believe we can encourage students to transform their competitive experience through paying attention to both their body and their inner process.  This increase of feeling awareness within the body and a simple non-judgmental ‘acceptance and allowing’ of whatever is there is the process by which ‘growth’ can happen.

JUNIOR PROGRAMS:

Sessions will be tempered to the needs of the student. For some, emphasis will be based on strengthening basic fundamentals, which will establish a technically solid foundation that will allow students to reach their full potential. For more advanced players, emphasis will be placed on the art of playing matches by working on strategy, shot selection, point combinations, reading and reacting to match situations, as well as mental awareness training and physical conditioning.

JUNIOR CLINICS:

Daily group lessons will be available. Students are invited to choose their own schedule, which could range from playing twice a week, three times a week or daily. Classes will be 90 minutes in duration and groups will be based on ability and age.

Half-day:
Individuals can choose to play 2 sessions in a row from 9-Noon. 3 hour sessions include drilling, point-play and match-play.

Full-day:
Individuals can play both morning sessions (9-noon) and both afternoon sessions (2-5pm).

Campers can bring lunch from home or will be escorted across the street to various eateries from where they can buy food and bring back to the club.

Elite Program:
Specialized program for tournament players. Small groups and highly personalized. Must apply and be accepted to participate.

To encourage more play, we have added a match-play session every Sunday afternoon for no extra charge.
