Delaware Junior Tennis
Competitive Training Center
2010-2011 Application Form
What is the Competitive Training Center? The CTC is a weekly clinic held on Saturdays from the beginning of October to the end of February at the Brandywine Racquet Club on Route 202. It is run by the area’s top coaches and is designed to teach the area’s top players. Once accepted, players are generally separated by age and ability level. This comprehensive program emphasizes strategy, mechanics, mental toughness, physical fitness, and goal setting.
Who is chosen to participate? Juniors must be USTA members and have participated in USTA sanctioned tournaments to be considered. A very limited number of juniors can expect to be accepted into the program. The top talent in Delaware is considered first, with outsiders being accepted at coaches’ discretion. Match-play results, rankings, and input from pros & coaches are key factors in determining who is accepted. Sportsmanship and ability to work with others are just as important in determining acceptance as well.
How can I register? Fill out the attached application form and send to: Junior Tennis CTC, Att. Dejan Blagovcanin, 123 Mandalay Dr., Bear, DE 19701 by August 13. A panel of teaching pros will meet to review all applications and determine who to accept into the program. An application form must be filled out for consideration into the program. Once accepted, invitees must pay a fee to participate.
Questions? Contact Dejan Blagovcanin at 302-354-4591, or via email at dejan.blagovcanin@verizon.net.
