2. "Serious Strokes" for beginners and intermediates - costs a bit more, but also run in a more focus manner for maximum improvement. 6:1 player/coach ratio.
3. "Focus on Fun" - less expensive, more fun! A great way for kids to get started to see if they enjoy the game. It's always fun, but here fun is our focus. 8:1 player coach ratio.

What to expect in our programs!
Our programs are based on realistic goals, and help players develop confidence, independence, and a fighting spirit within the rules of the game. We teach the highest level of sportsmanship and team unity. Rarely do our players cry after a tough match!
We base our program on 4 goals:
1. Give 100% effort. This is where it all begins.
2. Enjoy the competition. Enjoyment leads to mental toughness.
3. Show yourself strong and wise. Strong body language and wise actions act as a defense against negative influences.
4. Learn from every match, every practice.
When our players take on a process oriented approach, then they take on the attitude of continued improvement, which always leads to better results. We try to never say "You have to win", we try to never use the words "Would, Could, or Should" We do not believe in pressuring our players, or giving them excuses.
