The consistency of the weekly match play, the live coaching, and the match notes that allow for a more targeted and effective practice, all contribute to the EXPONENTIAL improvements we see in all our players that participate in Travel Team.
This year we are also organizing SCHOOL TEAMS for those players that are interested to represent their schools and deepen their connections with their school colleagues.
Tennis Central Travel Team Participants travel as a team, wearing the same colors, cheering for one another, winning together, and supporting each other through good and bad times. This option is CO-ED and designed for players eager to improve their tennis. There is no better way to approach competition.
DON'T JUST LEARN TO PLAY, LEARN TO COMPETE!
7 THINGS THAT MAKE OUR TRAVEL TEAM THE BEST...
- COMPETITION: Winter is the least active competitive season of the year. Travel Team is the only competitive option to play in the local area. Our coaching staff elevates this experience with their constant presence and supervision at each of our pupils' matches with match notes in tow.
- COACHING: With their constant presence at the matches and written reports, our coaching staff closes the practice-to-competition feedback loop. Players are now able to accurately share what areas of their game need improvements and actually act on them.
- FLEXIBLE SUBSTITUTIONS: Five players make up each team. Four play in each match: Two singles matches, and one doubles match. This leaves you with great flexibility if conflicts cause you to miss a match. We can substitute players from other teams to fill roster needs. This also lets you play more matches than your team, if you'd like to serve as a substitute for other teams.
- WINTER INDOOR ACCESS: Continuity and consistency is the only way to get ahead of the pack. Why not use the season everyone is resting to flex your competition muscle? Practice and competition test different skills and having a focus on competition will catapult you into the spring season stronger than anyone else. Plus, getting indoor court time to play is precious (and of high value!)
- TEAM BONDING/SOCIAL EVENTS: We took your children's feedback to heart and added social elements to the team experience that no one else has thought of. Let's bring the fun back in Team Spirit and allow their on-court friendships to blossom. (These events are optional and carry an additional fee.)
- BEAUTIFUL TEAM UNIFORMS: Nothing makes you feel more professional than a great tennis outfit. Our designers will have you dressed to the nines this year with special Lululemon pieces.
- TEAM CALLS: There is nothing more important than regular checks ins. We want to make sure that parents and players alike are always heard and educated. With our educational seminars, you will get a leg up on tennis education.
