Frequently Asked Questions

What can we expect from the Tribe High Performance Program?

It is an expectation that your child arrives to court on time mentally and physically prepared for every training session. We expect all of our players to respect their coaches, other players, the training environment, facility and most importantly the process of development. This program is not only designed to significantly improve the growth of their tennis game, but to guide them in their growth as a person. Parents, feel free to contact our Director of High Performance, Chris Trizzino, with any questions.

As a parent, what can I do to help my son/daughter improve?

Being the parent of a competitive athlete in an individual sport can be time consuming, emotionally challenging and confusing. It is our role as coaches to ease the stress or tension between players and parents. We expect the parents of our players to be unconditionally supportive of their child in their development and journey. It is the coaches role to coach, discipline and educate the player, not the parents. For example, if your child plays in a tournament and loses, do not ask them a bunch of questions about why they lost. They are trying to figure it out too. If they want to discuss it, they will bring it up. Parents, feel free to contact our Director of High Performance, Chris Trizzino, and share your observations.

What tournaments should my son/daughter enroll in?

Our Director of High Performance, Chris Trizzino, will provide information to the players on what tournaments would be appropriate for them to sign up for. Please review the table that shows the tournament level affiliated with the program they are in.

How do I sign up?

You can call or sign up at the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center front desk. Please confirm acceptance into this program with our Director of High Performance, Chris Trizzino, prior to registering.

What is the Player / Coach Ratio?

6:1 ratio. In a high performance program, we expect our players to uphold personal accountability when training under our guidance. It is important that our players learn how to cooperatively train and compete with others.

How does my child move up to the next program level?

Our Director of High Performance, Chris Trizzino, will move a player to the next program level based on tournament results and their proven ability to outperform the majority of the players they are currently training with. For example, if your child is currently enrolled in Tribe 3, they will be moved to Tribe 2 once all expectations have been meet in training and in tournament results.

Should my child do private lessons in addition to the Tribe program?

If possible, our Director of High Performance, Chris Trizzino, recommends taking at least one private session per week. A private lesson helps accelerate the process of development as it is specific to your child’s needs.
