Grosse Pointe Hunt Club Shows How Tennis Teaching Has Evolved
Hunt Club Tennis in Grosse Pointe is evolving how tennis is taught to junior players

Introducing Matrix Tennis School, a tennis teaching system that has been successfully taught for several years at the Grosse Pointe Hunt Club. Not only is this unique coaching method available at the Hunt Club it has been designed so that Matrix Tennis School can be contracted to provide junior programming at other facilities as well.
The way tennis is taught to juniors is constantly evolving. We have quickly transitioned from long lines where kids used to stand around waiting to hit one ball through to the USTA’s method of ‘making life more fun’ on the tennis court.
Matrix Tennis School plans to go one step further with a systematized, proven method for learning tennis easily.

The system features a multi-level scale (from beginners to world-class professionals), which benchmarks players so they know exactly where they are in their development, and was initially created to help players make and excel on their high school team.
From the committed family who have a child wishing to play the game at a certain level, players who have a deep desire to make and excel on a high school team, to the players who wish to go all the way and become an elite junior, college player or tennis touring pro that Matrix Tennis School is looking to serve.
