Did your son get placed into Champs 2? My kid enjoyed it tremendously and got moved to Champs 1 later.

Move South or move to Spain

The problem with JSI is that you don't get much coaching. It's basically a bunch of kids thrown together to rally with very little instructions. Their teacher to student ratio is not what is promised.

Also, the difference between the top and bottom groups at JSI is extremely wide. They basically have already picked their top player group of 16 already so if you're joining now, you're stuck on court with a lot of kids waiting in line to play on 4 courts until those kids "graduate" out.

I have seen as many as 31 kids to 4 courts on the lower level. Other times if you're lucky there are less kids. The inconsistency of court time is unacceptable, and the instruction is meager.

How long did it take your Champs 2 kid to move to Champs 1? And was the move mid-year?

Yeah agreed there are no real studs even at JTCC. The best guy is a high UTR 11. What I’m saying is there are no Tiafoes in the pipeline and better players in Florida and So cal

Less than a year. But there are others who took longer. It depends on how much effort the kid is willing to put in.

Tennis instruction In dmv is a scam

A relatively athletic mom or dad can pick it up and with the all the really good tennis training YouTube content out there, create a program to work with your kid.

What you need is time to hit with your kid.

Dead serious.

If your kid shows promise and he/she is determined to go to the next level, then you need to figure out remote work options to move to florida, Georgia, Texas, cAlifornia etc

And if you really can do it, go to Spain or Italy so you can hit on clay year round.

It’s not even about Tiafor etc

He’s a freak of nature

But the continuous development of high level players (even if they are not pro standard) — this isn’t the area for that

Can you tell us more about that?


The coach is a pervert

What is he doing to make himself a pervert?


This is a slanderous statement. We use OSSA and like our coach very much. That said there are many coaches.


Ha. Why don’t you ask the head coach about it

How many days a week did your son do in Champs 2 to progress that quickly?
