Here's soon to be eleven year-old Ela Talu
pictured with her dad Esen from Istanbul, Turkey. Ela recently
made the trip to South Florida to learn the essentials of professional
tennis form in one of SFPTI's accelerated Intensive
Training Programs For Foreign Players And Future Champions.
Already one of Istanbul's top junior
players, this past Summer, Ela trained daily under Coach Andrew's exclusive direction
where she was introduced to the major core elements of world-class
tennis strokes.
"Great job Ela and don't forget to
practice all that you've learned!"
|
| Here's
eight year-old Christine Rosz pictured with her Youth
Excellence Tennis Program training partner; eighteen year-old Irene
Sandler of Aventura, Florida.
Despite a ten year
age difference between them, "Christine and Irene train very well
together" remarks Christine's dad; SFPTI Tennis Director and Program
Instructor Andrew Rosz.
While Irene is a relative newcomer, Christine is a
five-year veteran in the YETP
with skills that enable her to keep up with even the most advanced adult players.

Here's Cecelia Smith and her dad Frank.

Here's an early picture of Luzaan Rens and her mom
Alida when they first started their training in the Youth
Excellence Tennis Program. Originally from South Africa, Luzaan and her family have since relocated to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to pursue their tennis. As both Luzaan and her mom are committed to learning championship tennis technique, Luzaan
is now in her third year at SFPTI and trains under Andrew's direction exclusively
in the
YETP. "You're
doing great Luzaan! Keep blasting those groundstrokes like the
true champion that you are!"

Here's our littlest members of the Youth Excellence Tennis Program;
Courtney and Brianna Kirchgessner.
Pictured with their mom and dad,
Courtney (age four) and Brianna (age three) are off to a great
start in learning to play great tennis in the Youth
Excellence Tennis Program!
As young as they are, these two little
tennis superstars are already learning to hit proper forehands and
backhands and enjoy the company of both their mom and dad at every lesson.
Way to go girls! And thanks mom and dad for your support!

Here's Luzaan Rens with her two brand new
Head Radical Liquidmetal 27" professional tennis
rackets.
Remarkable but true... After only 14
months in the YETP, ten year-old Luzaan has
already developed the strength and skill to hit with both power and
control using professional (adult-size) equipment.
Luzaan loves her new
rackets and plans to annihilate the
competition. So look out girls! If you are going to win
events, you're going to have to get past Luzaan first!
|
|
|
|
Here's Luzaan and Steven demonstrating perfect ready position form and
technique for blasting serves.
While Luzaan is still working on
developing a strong serve, Steven's first serve already tops 90 mph. Note
the similarity in their form...
Learning to capitalize on the service
advantage is yet another important principle introduced to young players
during their first year in the Youth Excellence
Tennis Program.

Left-handed Cecelia in now in her third year
of the Youth Excellence Tennis Program and
practices most each and every day to hone her
"picture-perfect" tennis form and penetrating groundstrokes.
...And here she is demonstrating a perfect backhand groundstroke followthrough
finish. Note the "elbow-up" on the hitting arm.
Cecelia is a veteran of the YETP
and hits the ball exceptionally well off both sides. She has also
developed a dependable serve and has the skill to keep up with most
adult players.
|
|
|
|
Is she right-handed or left-handed?
Indeed... Luzaan is right-handed but she
can hit both ways!
"Symmetry Training" is an
integral part of first-year development in the Youth
Excellence Tennis Program where students learn to develop a
world-class two-handed backhand by first learning to hit proper
forehands with their non-dominant arm.
Ask ten year-old Luzaan if she likes
to hit forehands left-handed, and she'll probably say... "It's all the same
to me... I can hit the ball either way!"
