Programs & Training Pathway
It is important to understand the structure of Eagle Fustar Tennis Academy programs as a whole. Every player is different and based on the age and level of the player, the coaching staff will carefully choose a program best suited for the player. Please note that all of our programs overlap and it is quite common to be placed in two of our programs. Our goals are to build the skill sets of our players and this ensures the quickest progress and development.Pre-Core Performance (PCP) 0 – 1.5 UTR
Pre-Core Performance (PCP) is for beginners ages 4-11, comprised of multiple beginning programs including Mini-Tennis, Ralley Ball 1 & Ralley Ball 2, which all focus on building hand-eye skills and basic tennis techniques through fun instruction utilizing the USTA 10 and Under Pathway. Program may use shorter courts and age appropriate racquets and balls to increase confidence and problem solving skills.
Pre-Core Plus (PCP+) is for players who advance from Ralley Ball 2 or have had similar prior instruction, providing a bridge between Pre-Core and Core programs. Clinics are 2 hrs long; players must be able to handle this longer workload. Pre-Core Teen (PCT) is for beginners or early intermediate level teen players, ages 12-15, focusing on fundamentals in a fun and comfortable environment. PCP+ and PCT focus on grips, proper technique, and footwork patterns with basic and intermediate point play strategies. We recommend players in these programs utilize private lessons to fine tune and accelerate development.
