The Developmental Program at Evert Tennis Academy is designed to take players to the next level by providing a very exclusive, individualized program.  This program systematically addresses every aspect of a player’s game by daily technical, tactical, and match-play training.  ETA’s Strength & Conditioning and Mental Conditioning departments will also work very closely with all ETA students on a daily basis in order to fully reach each student’s maximum potential at ETA.  The difference between the Developmental Program and Academy Program lies within the daily 1:1 lesson (see Daily Schedules).

Student-athletes in the Developmental Program go through a comprehensive evaluation that takes into consideration all elements of the game.  The evaluation and development is overseen by a Coach-Manager who directs the student’s progress throughout the semester/year. 

Once the initial evaluation is complete, Coach-Managers will determine the individual direction of each student and implement a detailed developmental plan.  Short and long-term strategy is discussed in order to achieve each student’s goals.  Representatives from each department are periodically present on the court to observe and evaluate progress and make sure individual needs are being met.  Parents will receive regular progress reports from their respective Coach-Manager. 

Students typically enroll in the Developmental Program on an annual or semester basis.  The program costs are as follows:
