Our USTPA Professional staff can service all of your needs here at Jackson Country Club. Whether you are just looking to hit some balls, get an intense workout, instructional doubles or singles clinics, beginner lessons, 3 year olds tiny tots program, advanced technical and tactical lessons, social events, or USTA tournament training. We have it all at Jackson Country Club.
We focus on promoting long term development for all of our players, and do not place the emphasis on winning straight away.
Our junior clinics focus on using step by step progressions to help develop each student, and to help them move into the next class when they're ready and prepared to succeed.
Everything taught by our USTPA Professional staff comes from the best proven teaching methods in the world, and backed up by science as well as the most up to date statistical data regarding tactics and strategy. According to research data the majority of tennis points (60-70%) last less than 4 shots. We put heavy focus first strike tennis, and use the data from the world's leading tennis strategist Craig O'Shannessy to develop tactics and strategies for all 3 phases of the point while placing an emphasis on the first phase with the serve +1 and return +1 patterns of play.
