Training Advantage

At Stevenson, Tennis thrives within an athletic department that champions multi-sport participation. Guided by wellness and performance research, we develop well-rounded players while fully supporting those pursuing collegiate opportunities as well as those seeking the camaraderie and growth of being part of a team. Athletes have year-round access to courts and training spaces—ball machine work, serving targets, footwork ladders, and the weight room—for optional technical sessions (serve/return, footwork, patterns of play), doubles tactics, match play, and strength/mobility. In season, practices are purposeful and coaching is individualized; out of season, training is flexible—designed to complement other team commitments so students can excel across multiple sports.

Whether you’re preparing for college tennis or looking to contribute in a competitive, supportive environment, there’s a place for you in Stevenson Tennis.
