Our program is based on an important idea: Athletes learn more when they’re having fun! As skill develops, confidence grows and results follow. Improved self-esteem for our athletes is our end goal after every private lesson, group class and competition.
Our students have gone on to some of the best schools in the country including NYU, Boston College, Brown, Stevens Institute of Technology, Ohio State, Sacred Heart and Penn State University. As such we encourage athletes to put school first and advise parents regarding collegiate options.
