Academy Philosophy

There are numerous coaches and Academies in today’s world of tennis. Some great and even more are not so great. NGTA believes there are intrinsic reasons that create one or the other.

The coaching staff at NGTA believes that a coach/Academy must first encourage Virtue and a good Moral base before an athlete can truly get the most out of themselves. By doing this we believe we lay the foundation for a great Academy. Players must respect themselves and all others to be able to fully utilize their given talents.

Once this is accomplished we can begin to build on the base that each player has established. Each player must have a specific and defined “Game Style” to begin the process of becoming a great player. You have seen this “game style” idea for years on the Pro Tours; Agassi- aggressive baseliner, Layton Hewitt- counter puncher, Andy Roddick- all court game, Navratilova- serve and volley. These players have clearly identified their strengths and developed their individual games around them. Once establishing this “Game Style”, NGTA begins to enhance and fine tune each player to become the best they can be. Maybe your child will be the “Next Generation” of elite tennis players. It is our mission to make this possible!
