I'm Dan Kelly! My wife, Gabriela and I developed High Desert Tennis because of the years of High Elevation Training we've done in order to stay in shape for being effective Club Professionals in Tennis!! After having developed and managed our Club in Washington, DC (TennisLink.org) ..and now having developed High Desert tennis, with an existing Membership and it's own track record, we have LOTS of rich and diverse Tennis Activities scheduled for this up and coming 2009 Season!
If you're playing the Ad side or the Deuce side, the scenery is spectacular! Album Below, shot over the Red Clay Tennis Court, is of Cerro Pedernal..New Mexico's famous flat topped mountain after Morning Doubles.
With a combined level of coaching experience exceeding 75,000 client hours, we believe in a 3 level (physical-mental-spiritual) approach to tennis training. The Spirit..as in attitude comes with the confidence derived from the hard work involved in our program. The mental involves focus and mental toughness (Although we are WAY out in the country..our program is NOT the only focus ..click
Here to see many other Activities you might enjoy). Our elevation (6,300ft)..and the training employed in our camps (light weights, mtn biking, day hiking and backpacking) raises the bar and challenges our athletes to excel! OR simply bring your Family or Group and RELAX!
Our tennis facility is red clay. We've chosen this surface because it promises the basis for form work and it's inherent quality to challenge players endurance.
Our climate, high desert, is idealy suited for training, although one must consume more fluids than they're perhaps used to. The ball moves fast..but then stands up to hit! We get about 325 days a year of sunshine.
Diet is stressed here, and proper food can be provided in our camps!
If you are a USTA Captain, take special notice and arrange a group thru us for your teams training. We can set the training as strenuous or as light and fun as you like!
We are offering a 2008 weekly intro price for your whole group of $750 plus $250 refundable security deposit (up to 6 players) LODGING BUT including TENNIS !!
