HIGH PERFORMANCE ACADEMY

Our High Performance staff is focused on player development, team cohesion, and consistent instruction under the direction of our Director—ensuring all training aligns with TIA’s Teaching Philosophy. Coaches are actively involved across all training touchpoints, including group sessions, team practices, private lessons, and tournament travel.

Each player receives an initial development plan, with progress tracked monthly and quarterly. Mid-year evaluations are shared in player, parent, and coach meetings to review progress and set next steps.
