At Court 16, we give every player the foundation to grow into the sport-and carry those skills beyond the court. Whether they're rallying with friends, preparing for school teams, or using tennis as a tool for personal growth, they leave with the confidence that comes from doing things the right way, from the very beginning.

Tennis Remixed: Making Tennis Easier to Learn, Remember, and Love

You've probably seen Tennis Remixed in our clubs, on our website, and across our communications-it's more than a method, it's a mindset. Tennis is one of the most technical and demanding sports in the world. Each year, ESPN ranks over 150 sports based on skill, endurance, power, speed, agility, and mental toughness-and 

How does Court 16 ensure consistent player development?

Every coach at Court 16 follows the same technical framework and progression model. Of course, each coach brings their own personality, style, and delivery, but we all work together to ensure every player receives the same level of care, attention, and approach. This creates a warm, consistent learning environment and helps players progress with clarity and confidence.

How does Court 16 adapt to different skill levels?

We use a progressive system that adapts court size, equipment, and ball type to a player's stage of development. The goal is not to move quickly through these formats, but to build deep muscle memory, consistent point of contact, and the right technique-the foundation for long-term growth. This scaled progression mirrors best practices in many other sports like soccer, basketball, and winter sports, and helps players grow at a pace that promotes technical excellence, safer development, and injury prevention. Using lighter racquets and lower-pressure balls allows players to learn confidently while protecting their bodies.

How does Court 16 support players who attend weekly or seasonally?

Whether players train once a week or attend more frequently, we focus on building strong, repeatable habits through intentional instruction and consistent technique. For players who participate in our holiday and summer camps, the experience becomes even more immersive. These extended programs allow players to strengthen their tennis foundation, build friendships, and develop the kinds of physical and mental skills that support the growth of a well-rounded athlete and person.

What is Court 16's long-term goal for player development?

Tennis is a blueprint for life-it teaches discipline, resilience, timing, and adaptability. That's why we focus on giving every player the right foundation from the very beginning. As the court gets bigger and the ball moves faster, having strong technique and purposeful movement ensures players don't just keep up-they thrive. Our goal is to help players grow into the game with joy, confidence, and tools that stay with them for life-on and off the court.

How does Court 16 measure progress?

Progress isn't about rushing to the next court or using a faster ball-it's about mastery. Players advance when they demonstrate:

• Consistent technique and point of contact

• Control, placement, and ability to rally

• Application of skills in real match-play situations

We celebrate growth at every level and support players in advancing with intention and readiness, not speed.

What makes Court 16's coaching approach unique?

We combine technical consistency, progressive learning, and creative teaching.

• A shared coaching philosophy across all staff

•  A scaled learning system built around court size and equipment

• Tennis Remixed-our signature method that uses metaphors and cross-sport drills (especially during camps) to help players absorb even the most complex skills

We don't just teach strokes-we teach players how to learn, enjoy, and grow in the game at every stage of their journey. Tennis consistently ranks in the top five hardest. It requires complex technique, fast footwork, mental focus, and decision-making-often without coaching during play. For over 10 years, we've been on a mission to make tennis more welcoming and accessible-without losing what makes it great. That's why we use metaphors, cross-sport drills, and creative teaching to help players remember even the toughest skills. And we never stop learning-because the more we grow, the more we share with our community.

How does Court 16 promote inclusion, empathy, and social-emotional learning?

Inclusion and empathy are core to how we coach and how we show up for one another. Our courts are welcoming to players of all backgrounds and abilities. We teach players not just how to hit the ball-but how to work as a team, show respect, celebrate effort, and handle challenges with resilience.

Our programs naturally build confidence, communication, and emotional awareness. Whether it's through group classes, team-based play, or simple moments of kindness between drills, we believe that tennis is a powerful platform to grow as people-not just players.
