The Carmel Valley Athletic Club (CVAC) Junior Tennis Academy was started by Director of Tennis, Brian Cory, in September, 2004. The Academy is dedicated to improving any junior’s tennis game to whatever level he or she desires. Brian has helped many juniors achieve college scholarships through their tennis, and has virtually filled up the rosters of almost all the high school varsity tennis programs, boys and girls, on the Monterey Peninsula. Our philosophy at CVAC is to teach a total package tennis scheme. All players will receive the knowledge of how to play competitive tennis, whether they strive to make their high school teams, or want to be sectionally or nationally ranked juniors, with college tennis, or professional aspirations. We emphasize sportsmanship, footwork and conditioning, strategy (singles and doubles), mental toughness, good work ethics, stroke production and the ability to hit all spins (slice and topspin), and most importantly, learning how to have fun and enjoy a lifetime sport, tennis! Juniors aged 6 – 18 are recommended for this program.
