Tournament Planning 

CTP Academy coaches are committed to junior player development and growth. This includes tactical training, technical development, and tournament scheduling. All of these are paramount to a player's success.

Tournament Scheduling: We hold parent meetings to discuss video analysis, goal setting, tournament schedules and expectations. These meetings are a great way for coaches and parents to discuss a game plan for the individual player.

Tournament Coaching: Cary Tennis Park Academy coaches provide tournament coaching throughout the year. Coaches travel around the Southern Section providing pre- and post-match coaching to all Academy players. 

Facilitating College Placement: During a player's high school years, coaches can help players navigate the college recruitment path. This includes working through the timeline, talking to coaches, advising families of their options, and more. Our coaches have extensive experience in this process and are well equipped to help facilitate college placement at any level.
