Hear From TRO Readers About Their Experience at Stratton Mountain Resort
🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 “As someone who travels solo specifically for tennis, this program exceeded expectations. The drills were intense, the coaching was sharp, and the level of play was strong across the board… it was a nice mix of social and focused one-on-one learning. I left feeling like my game actually improved and I look forward to coming back next season.”
🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 “I’ve been to a lot of resort programs, and this one is among the best. The morning clinics are varied depending on the day (I was the only person one day), but the pros are energetic and knowledgeable, and the drills are never repetitive. There is a real sense on enthusiasm amongst the pros. The highlight was Rob who came out to say hi, introduce the pro, give his two cents before running over a large academy court to play in a game with the kids. I saw him thirty minutes later having balls thrown at him with a bunch of five year olds before coming back to check in on me.”
