the Harrison Area Community Tennis Association, the
United States Tennis Association, and several other
supporters including ALTA and USTA-Georgia. These

The courts will be used to teach tennis to children
using the USTA
QuickStart program . The courts will also
be used for QuickStart league play, and instructional
programs for adults, seniors and special populations.
If you would lilke to support this program, the Harrison
Area Community Tennis Association is selling engraved

the new courts. Have your name or your group,

New
Junior Academy at Harrison Tennis Center!!!!
Harrison
Tennis Center would like to welcome Stephen
Diaz and the SDTA Junior Tennis Academy . Stephen
has been one of the top junior development coaches in
Atlanta for many years and Harrison is very proud to
have him and SDTA on board.
SDTA
's coaching philosophy is based on putting the athlete
first, while putting major emphasis on performance rather
than outcome. Coaches focus on helping young players
reach their maximum potential as people through a commitment
to excellence in tennis. SDTA considers the long
term welfare and happiness of players should be valued
more than the results of rewards of the moment.
Founded in 1996, SDTA 's emphasis on small group programs
and personal attention has helped develop some of the
best junior players in the region.
One
of our main goals of SDTA coaches is to personalize
the development of players based on their talent and
individual needs. They focus on teaching students
how to develop an all-around game and help them understand
all the different aspects of tennis in order to become
a complete player.
At
SDTA, training hard and training smart is what they
all about. In order to maximize each player's potential,
SDTA focuses on the following:
•
fundamentals
of technique
• singles & doubles strategy
• physical conditioning & mental
toughness
• supervised match play
• tournament warm-up & coaching
Our
low coach-to-student ratio, affordable program, and
strong relationships with both students and
parents are what make SDTA unique among tennis academies.

East
Cobb Tennis Players Hit the Courts
 East
Cobb Tennis is a group of tennis enthusiasts that meet
up to play casual pick-up games - singles, doubles,
mixed - via the Internet. The group evolved from 6 USTA
2.5 - 3.5 players from Harrison Tennis Center. Play
is open to all 18 years or older that have an NTRP rating
and/or verifiable experience in a league such as ALTA,
T2 or Ultimate Tennis. There is no fee to join. When
you want to play you just post a message to set up an
informal match or reply to a message someone else has
posted looking for a player. It's a great way
to play more tennis in addition to the drills and team
practices you're already involved in - and meet some
new people while you're at it! For information, see
www.eastcobbtennis.net.
