Wheaton Sport Center High Performance Program is one of the leading high-performance programs in the Chicagoland and Midwest. Our Professional staff is dedicated to helping each player attain their individual goals. We emphasize: Sportsmanship, Character, Competitiveness, and Leadership. The program provides players with a highly competitive environment that will develop their skills to play at a high level. We take great pride in constantly providing the best point play drills, games, and match play situations that constantly challenge them daily. Each player is expected to consistently work on their games even away from the court by getting stronger physically and mentally. We also advocate accountability and respect; these are skills they will need to prepare them for their life challenges. Our number one goal is to help every one of our players become both the best tennis player and the best person they can be, both on and off the court.
