Performance is Everything-Michael-Ann Russell JCC Brings Tennis Coaching to a New Level!

Aug. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- “This high-caliber tennis course will allow us to capture the kids who have graduated from the higher levels of our tennis curriculum, and who would normally go elsewhere to seek the next level of tennis coaching and instruction,” claims Nancy Carroll, Assistant Health Sports and Wellness Director at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center.

High Performance Tennis Academy will be directed, coached, and lead by MAR-JCC’s own Bill Ogene. Bill has coached tennis nationally and internationally, and at all levels, and holds a multitude of industry accreditations and accolades including U.S.P.T.A Certified Professional, Former ATP top 400 Touring Pro, former Nigerian Davis Cup Player, and Member of the Bollitieri Top Guns along with Agassi, Courrier, and Wheaton. “This course will focus on training in strategy and game style, tactics and pattern development, weapons and weapon development, psychological skills, overall physical attributes and tennis technique,” explains Bill.

High Performance Tennis Academy will be offered to kids ages 10-18 as part of MAR-JCC’s After School Program beginning August 30, 2010 through January 21, 2011. Additionally, there will be a Nutritionist and a Personal Trainer on staff to assist with special training and nutrition counseling for all participants.
