The guiding philosophy for our program is working with each player to:

​

• Develop solid fundamentals for each stroke.

• Clearly understand and work with a clear vision of the appropriate style of play for each player.

• Train off-court and in the gym for general fitness and to improve in the areas of strength, movement and endurance.

• Understand and implement the basic and advanced tactics and strategies.

• Determine and utilize a tournament-training schedule based on each current player’s level of play and stage of development.

• Learn the rudiments of mental toughness and design an individual program for each player based on their needs.

 

Our coaching staff looks at each player as an individual. We work to help each person improve their games in the context of group and individual workouts. D.T.I. wants all the participants in our programs to have the best experience possible and will work with the player and his/her parents to achieve this end.
