The focus is on competition results. Eric Dobsha is humbly impressed & very proud of the success his junior players have achieved under his format & guidance.
Eric Dobsha, the Owner and driving force behind the academy, has rapidly risen to prominence in the last four years, particularly with performance-driven kids. His coaching staff has the highest certifications, along with big personalities & impressive junior and college tennis accomplishments. In an industry where retaining skilled coaches is a rarity, Dobsha’s tenure speaks volumes about the quality of his program.
What Sets Dobsha Tennis Apart?
Eric Dobsha runs the academy like a college tennis team, regardless of whether a player's goal is professional tennis. The academy has firmly positioned themselves around the belief in; “playing to learn, not learning to play”.
Forget about basket drills here because there’s very little. Dobsha’s focus is squarely on match play scenarios and not only technique. But applying the technique to win matches.
From day one, junior players dive into competitive situations. Dobsha is finessed at finding his players strengths & addressing player weaknesses in both drills & private lessons.
This likely sounds intimidating for players used to the traditional academy focus on incessant basket drills to perfect technique. But as they say; “reality bites” & this is a competition academy.
Here players are already engaged in consistent tournaments with UTR’s between 8.0 - 13.0. For families looking for a ton of high level play then Florida tennis is the place in the USA.
