An important complement to JMTA group programming, the individual attention and focus that private lessons provide accelerate progress and address key tactical, technical and other topics that are relevant to a specific player’s game. Our coaches have been trained to understand individual differences and cater to different personalities, learning styles, ages and stages of development. To find the right coach for your player, or to discuss the best balance of group and private training for your player, contact your JMTA Director or email nyc@sportimeny.com for JMTA NYC, lisle@sportimeny.com for JMTA Westchester, stm@sportimeny.com for JMTA Syosset or pwta@sportimeny.com for JMTA Port Washington.

An important complement to on-court training, JMTA provides a unique one-on-one athletic development model for junior players that encompasses all elements of strength and conditioning, sports science and sports medicine.
