Private Tennis Lessons

An important complement to JMTA group programming, the individual attention and focus that private lessons provide accelerate progress and address key tactical, technical and other topics that are relevant to a specific player’s game. Our coaches have been trained to understand individual differences and cater to different personalities, learning styles, ages and stages of development. To find the right coach for your player, or to discuss the best balance of group and private training for your player, contact your JMTA Director or email nyc@sportimeny.com for JMTA NYC, lisle@sportimeny.com for JMTA Westchester, stm@sportimeny.com for JMTA Syosset or pwta@sportimeny.com for JMTA Port Washington. 

Detailed Athletic Assessment and Injury Risk Screenings

One of our world-class athletic training staff assesses an athlete’s movement competency, including on-court speed, strength and power production, and identifies areas of increased injury risk and those in need of improvement. Contact Deklon Soodoo, dsoodoo@sportimeny.com, for information about JMTA NYC, Aaron Lopez, alopez@Sportimeny.com, for information about JMTA Syosset or JMTA Port Washington, or Marcio Souza, msouza@sportimeny.com, for information about JMTA Westchester.

 

Private Athletic Training

An important complement to on-court training, JMTA provides a unique one-on-one athletic development model for junior players that encompasses all elements of strength and conditioning, sports science and sports medicine.  After a screening is conducted, a training program is then designed to address any deficits or movement faults identified, to improve performance, to decrease injury risk and to build the foundation for long-term athletic development on and off the court. Contact Deklon Soodoo, dsoodoo@sportimeny.com, for information about training at JMTA NYC, Aaron Lopez, alopez@Sportimeny.com, for information about training at JMTA Syosset or JMTA Port Washington, or Marcio Souza, msouza@sportimeny.com, for information about training at JMTA Westchester.

 

Nutrition/Hydration Counseling

Proper nutrition and hydration, and the related capacity to recover after matches and training, is critical to peak on-court performance. Includes an initial Nutrition Consultation, the development of an individualized nutritional program, and one follow-up progress assessment.

Tennis Analytics

Tennis Analytics provides players and coaches with objective data. A match is filmed and charted analyzing Key Performance Indicators. These highlights are uploaded to a private collection online, allowing players and coaches to search for important events. These tendencies help to objectively determine what needs to be improved in practice.

Each charted match includes a Match Report with all statistics and key performance indicators. This report can be used to easily identify the important match-defining areas that need to be viewed. Using the online search parameters, it is very easy to watch just those moments online. Click here for more information. 

If you have any questions about JMTA Training enhancements, about our approach to player development, or how junior players and their families can maximize the quality of their tennis experience and their overall enjoyment of our great sport, please contact your JMTA Director.
