  • 9 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (3 hour) Clinic: This program is perfect for players looking for instant game improvement. We spend time on the fundamentals of stroke production, transition into footwork and balance; and conclude with court positioning, shot selection and strategy.
  • 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. (2 hour) Clinic: Designed with the USTA player in mind. Singles and doubles strategy with a competitive edge and an emphasis on an all-court game. Learn the latest formations and techniques centered around a high percentage strategy.
  • 5 hour Clinic: This session combines the 3 hour morning and 2 hour afternoon clinic.

Team Tennis
We consider the Desert Tennis Academy ® to be THE place for your USTA team to get their preseason tune up.

We specialize in singles and doubles strategy designed specifically for your players. Our pros work with your players to create a strong line-up and get people working together as a team. Time is spent on formations, shot selection and most importantly on how to win. Instructors teach an offensive and aggressive style of doubles play and make the learning process easy and fun to follow. Our singles strategy is an all-court game centered on high percentage strategy. We consider your time here a success when players leave the resort with a better understanding of the game and how to contribute to the team’s overall success!

During the fall we have many small groups on property looking for competitive action so it is a great opportunity to see how your team stacks up. With the resort’s various room options our property is ideal for teams looking for affordable accommodations and a place close to all the hot spots to visit. The spectacular weather of the California desert allows for play and sunshine 350 days a year.
