Vision & Session Dates

RippnerTennis mission is to create an unparalleled experience both for the person and the player. The highest levels of excellence are achieved in a motivated, fun, collaborative environment that builds young players into confident, sophisticated, composed competitors on and off the court.

RippnerTennis workouts are designed to inspire excellence. Each practice session is of high quality and intensity to draw the most out of each student. We hope to instill a pride in ones performance so that each player feels they are building and growing from each hour spent on the court.

We encourage each junior who enters our program to learn to appreciate and enjoy tennis. Our coaches are committed to creating a healthy environment that builds relationships and trust leading to an overall positive experience. We believe only in positive motivation and that the player should dictate their own potential.

Our coaches know that working together with players and their families is the only way to reach success as a person and player. Each player should find synergy from the collaborative efforts of students, coaches, and parents.
