We are a society addicted to competition. Competition is not appropriate for beginners or those who can’t demonstrate competence in the fundamental skills. Everyone is thrown into competition unprepared. Competing before learning the physical, mental, and emotional fundamentals makes learning more difficult, inhibits performance, limits potential, undermines self-esteem and confidence, diminishes enjoyment, and makes people way too tense to play their best. Joy of Tennis eliminates the biggest obstacle to playing our best—competition. Come learn the FUNdamentals without competition impeding your progress. Competence Before Competition! Peak Performance Without Competition! Please read: For people with previous tennis experience, haven’t taken many tennis lessons, or haven't played for years. Sorry, no beginners.
