Players in the Elite Training program will train with a specific partner all summer on Tuesday’s from 1:00 - 3:00p at Four Lakes in Lisle. This time frame is designed for our best athletes to work in small groups with our top coaches.

Attendance, what happens when we are on vacation/camp/work/and more?

Attendance is much more critical for those who are committing to this program. We understand and will work with individual circumstances, but we highly encourage players to miss as few events as possible. Being successful in competition is the primary goal of this program, and time spent with your partner on the court is critical to accomplishing this goal. Please take this level of commitment seriously when considering signing up for our program.
