Welcome To Pock Rock Tennis
At Posh Rock Tennis you will find a comprehensive approach to the sport of Tennis which is lacking many other Tennis Academies. Guidelines and goals are set from the beginning with each student and expectations are made very clear. We believe that not just the playing level, but also the behaviors of our students on and off the court are a reflection of us. We focus on creating an environment where players are encouraged to learn, treat others with respect and give their maximum in all they do.
We believe that having a sound set of values on and off the court, as well as a desire to see our students excel, we are able to provide skill sets that will last a lifetime.
