A Tennis Experience Tailored to Fit Individual Needs

At the Roddick Lavalle Academy, our coaching staff has adopted the philosophy that there is no cookbook of coaching techniques that applies identically to each player. We emphasize the development of life skills and educate our players to understand that the ideas and concepts learned on the tennis court apply to their lives outside tennis. We take a global approach by addressing the physiological, psychological, tactical and technical skills each player needs to reach his/her full potential. RLA programs include fulltime and single semester boarding, an after school program, summer camp, and private lessons.

High Performance Coaching
High performance tennis coaching is an art. Some tennis academies imitate other coaching philosophies they have heard or read about, neglecting the fact that no program is one-size-fits-all. This is where coaching ceases to be a science and becomes an art. By operating on such a small scale (2 to 1 player/coach ratio), we are able to provide each of our players the proper training program that suits his/her individual needs.

Academic Excellence
Our personalized approach also applies to our fitness and education programs. Through individualized attention and consistent reinforcement, we maintain high quality standards for student education and enrichment. We emphasize activities that teach value systems, build life skills and solidify peer and adult relationships. The Roddick Lavalle education program awakens students’ imaginations and inspires them to succeed.
