A tennis clinic designed for kids. And for you, if you are still a kid at heart. Adults are welcome. You asked for it, so you got it! After numerous focus groups and interviews with parents and players, we came up with the following solutions to the problems we heard over and over again. Our aim is to foster a nurturing, fun, affordable (time and money), low stress environment. - Round Robin Competitions - Private Lessons - Hitting Sessions - Weekly Clinics - Summer Camps - Stroke Doctor - Two Tracks:       Tournament Play       Exposure to Tennis      Our approach Simply put, DO WHAT THE PROS DO!

For more on we see it, go to www.eSticks.com Email or vmail to setup a free phone consultation to discuss how we might be able to help. There are a few simple exertions that all pros use and you can and should do the same. Many club-level players "make-up" their own version of the game. This can be easily seen in the multitude of very distinctive styles. With a great deal of practice and repetition, a respectable game can be built, but only to certain levels and then you hit the proverbial wall. We will demonstrate what the typical USTA 3.0-4.0 player does, the 4.0-5.0 player, and the open level and up player. Your strokes and mechanics will be the same as the pros and produce a spinning, heavy, penetrating ball flight. Finally you can go to what we call your athletic limit, no longer held back by poor mechanics. Will I be ready for the pros?  Yes!  Let's just hope that you are as fast, quick, agile and coordinated as the pros?  We will get you to your athletic limit with the correct pressures, exertions, and timing. Do not waste time (and money) with the wrong mechanics. We will NOT say "good shot" (when it clearly is not) over and over again and then schedule another lesson. You may finally get it -- the light goes on -- in just a few sessions.  We have students that have said, "wow, now I see it", in just one session.   Your fearless leader, Marc Picker Not only can Marc teach, he can play.
