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. If you would like to get more information on SDTA contact Stepheb Diaz at Harrison Tennis Center (770-591-3151)

 

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.
