Harrison Tennis Center

Harrison Tennis Center Wins Award

Harrison Tennis Center has been named the recipient of the '2008 QuickStart Award'. The United States Tennis Association - Southern Section continues its tradition of annually honoring an outstanding participant in a USTA sponsored program. This award recognizes facilities or organizations as the USTA - Southern Section's most outstanding QuickStart programs.  The award is given to an individual or organization for outstanding participation, performance, and promotion of QuickStart programs. This award will be presented at the opening session of the USTA - Southern Section Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA, January 16, 2009.

USTA's QuickStart program is a program that teaches tennis to youth players and special needs players on 36' mini courts.  Harrison Tennis Center was selected in 2007 as a pilot program site and within a few weeks the program was filled with participants.  In 2008, Cobb County, along with supporting grants and sponsorships from USTA, ALTA, and other organizations and businesses built the first USTA approved 36' QuickStart tennis courts in the country.  The Harrison Area Community Tennis Association, headed by president Jenny Christoffersen, and facility manager Steve Lottinger , were instrumental in organizing this fund-raising effort. 

The courts have become an instant hit with youth players and special needs players.  The courts are filled daily with instructional programs, and a regular special pops tennis program has also been successful.  Congratulations to the Harrison tennis staff, instructors, and the Harrison Community Tennis Association for making this program and facility a successful model for this USTA program.

 

East Cobb Tennis Players Hit the Courts

East Cobb Tennis is a group of tennis enthusiasts that meet up to play casual pick-up games - singles, doubles, mixed - via the Internet. The group evolved from 6 USTA 2.5 - 3.5 players from Harrison Tennis Center. Play is open to all 18 years or older that have an NTRP rating and/or verifiable experience in a league such as ALTA, T2 or Ultimate Tennis. There is no fee to join. When you want to play you just post a message to set up an informal match or reply to a message someone else has posted looking for a player.  It's a great way to play more tennis in addition to the drills and team practices you're already involved in - and meet some new people while you're at it! For information, see www.eastcobbtennis.net.

Stephen Diaz Junior Academy

Harrison Tennis Center is the home base for the Stephen Diaz Junior Tennis Academy . Stephen has been one of the top junior development coaches in Atlanta for many years and Harrison is very proud to have him and SDTA on board. SDTA's coaching philosophy is based on putting the athlete first, while putting major emphasis on performance rather than outcome.  Coaches focus on helping young players reach their maximum potential as people through a commitment to excellence in tennis.  SDTA considers the long term welfare and happiness of players should be valued more than the results of rewards of the moment. Founded in 1996, SDTA 's emphasis on small group programs and personal attention has helped develop some of the best junior players in the region. One of our main goals of SDTA coaches is to personalize the development of players based on their talent and individual needs.  They focus on teaching students how to develop an all-around game and help them understand all the different aspects of tennis in order to become a complete player.

At SDTA, training hard and training smart is what they all about. In order to maximize each player's potential, SDTA focuses on the following:

fundamentals of technique
singles & doubles strategy
physical conditioning & mental toughness
supervised match play
tournament warm-up & coaching

Our low coach-to-student ratio, affordable program, and strong relationships with both students and parents are what make SDTA unique among tennis academies. If you would like to get more information on SDTA contact Stephen Diaz at Harrison Tennis Center (770-591-3151)
