Exclusive Squads
These exclusive and trial based squads represent the pinnacle of MITS Tennis’ squad programs and set a benchmark not only within our academy but across the state of Victoria. While many programs across the state may promote "high-intensity environments" and "professional-style coaching," we understand that the quality of such squads often diminishes when overly large numbers of players are grouped together, creating a diluted and less competitive atmosphere.
