Western’s Tournament Performance Program is a place for motivated young athletes to maximize their potential on and off the courts. Through tennis, these players will learn skills like determination, dedication, critical thinking, and teamwork to help them achieve their goals. This program is geared toward players that desire to be pushed in a variety of drills and situational point play. In the group activities, athletes work on specific skills through game-based drills. They also refine their technique, footwork, reactions, and other skills through repetitive, pro-fed drills. There are several tournaments each year that players (9 and up) will be recommended to play.
