Summer Academy Weeks




 

Thanks for a terrific summer!  We had a great time providing quality training and coaching to a fantastic group of players.  And we know from our ongoing communication with almost all of our players and parents, everyone had a blast and really stepped up their games to significant level.


To date we've welcomed over 280 ranked players to the Academy representing more than 41 communities in the Greater Boston and New England area, as well as international players from 12 different countries.  In addition,
over 169 younger athletes joined our program and were able to establish and enhance their tennis skills so that they can begin competitive play.  


During the summer and fall, our Academy players achieved 61 USTA tournament championships (i.e. winning the tournament) - including USTA Levels 4 thru 7.  This equates to over 34% of the players training at our Academy, becoming a tournament champion.  Our players also improved their performance at a number of national and ITF events.  Our higher ranked Academy players improved their rankings on average by 11 positions, while our lower ranked players improved their rankings by an average 26 positions.


From all of the applications received, we accepted 27% - this enabled us to maintain a strong pool of Academy players while reserving smaller groups for training and a significant amount of individual coaching.  We expect our acceptance rate to drop still further based on returning players maintaining their Academy slots as well as a larger pool of applicants.
This should lead to an even stronger group of Academy players.
