HPTA is the best in the area. All three of my children, and myself, have played there for many years. There are tons of opportunities including clinics, lessons and match play leagues. The coaching and programming is excellent

Very disappointed in our experience there. Clinics are essentially the coach standing in a corner barking in courts filled with 10+ players participating in senseless drills. Anyone who has experienced quality tennis instruction in Florida or Spain sees what a waste of time and money this is.There should only be 4 on a court max. HPTA is all about maximizing their income and cares only about its top players and what they can do for them.

I have spent time at a number of tennis academies throughout the country including a significant amount of time at the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC) in College Park, Maryland - a USTA training base. I can say, without a doubt, that High Performance Tennis Academy (HPTA) is by far one of the best academies in the Northeast United States.HPTA has programs for all ages and levels - kids, teenagers and adults. Their programming for kids is known as Junior Circuit and is under the Direction of Kellen Thomas, a former collegiate tennis player at Drexel University. At the Junior Circuit level, programming starts at age 4 and goes from red ball through green ball.The Academy program which is made up of four programs - Future Champs, Super Squad, High Performance Development and High Performance. The High Performance programming is under the direction of co- owner, Dylan Comerford. Dylan played collegiate tennis at Winthrop University, at the #1 position, and was top-250 in ITF Juniors. He's one of the most highly-respected coaches in the area and has sent 100+ kids to college for tennis with nearly $1 million in scholarships. This years graduating class included players going to a number of D1 and D3 schools including UPenn, Presbyterian, Emory, Vassar, Franklin & Marshall and many others. A number of players, who went on to become professional, have trained at HPTA in the past including CiCi Bellis (former WTA #35 and ITF Junior #1) and Anna Mamalat (former WTA #900 and Texas A&M tennis player). Anna is now a coach at HPTA!The adult program is primarily run by Rob Isaacs, (HPTA's co-owner), Julio Toledo (former top-20 junior player in Mexico) and Harvey Becker (former British National Champion and ATP #400). Their adult program ranges for programming for 4.5+ NTRP players, 3.0-3.5 players and beginner players. HPTA was founded in 2009 by a South African coach Charles Wheeler (he has since returned to his native country), who coached Kevin Anderson when he was a junior. When HPTA was first founded, the academy was based entirely out of AFC Riverside (Bala Cynwyd, PA). While they continue to have programming there, they have expanded to the nearby Cynwyd Club, Radnor Valley Country Club and hold their renowned summer camp at Haverford College.Altogether, HPTA is the best tennis academy in the Philadelphia-area and one of the best in the Northeastern US. Highly recommend for all ages and levels!
