High Performance Program

Our program is designed to help players develop a full court game. TAAV players learn to hit a kick serve, return big serves, volley, take the ball on the rise, hit with net clearance, slice, move forward on short balls, and consistently work on hitting a better and better ball. Because developing all parts of the game is a key aspect of our training, we help students master each specific element of the game before moving on.

The winning edge comes from playing hundreds of sets – our players have the advantage of competing with a wide variety of players. TAAV works on serve and return more than any other academy. Since 70% of tennis is played in the first three shots of every rally, players at the Antonio Valdés Tennis Academy spend a significant amount of time each day working specifically on serve and return without points. By mastering the technical aspects involved, players develop a better overall serve and return. At the Antonio Valdés Tennis Academy, mastery is the goal. All of our on-court training promotes a mastery mindset.
