The Eagle Elevate standard

What every player can expect.

A clear baseline

We start by understanding the player — strengths, gaps, goals and how they like to learn.

A written plan

Specific, measurable priorities so every session connects to something that matters.

Visible progress

Regular check-ins that show what's improving and what we're working on next.

Family partnership

Open, respectful communication with parents and guardians, every step of the way.

Getting started

Three simple steps.

  1. Reach out

    Send an inquiry or call. Tell us about the player, their experience and their goals.

  2. Talk it through

    We'll follow up personally to answer questions and recommend the right program and schedule.

  3. Get on court

    Your first session includes a baseline assessment, so the plan is personal from day one.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does my child need tennis experience to start?

No. Every program begins with where the player is today. Beginners are welcome, and we'll recommend the format that fits best.

Do you coach adults?

Yes. Private coaching is available for adult players at any level who want to train with structure and clear goals.

Where are sessions held?

We serve the Alton and Edwardsville, Illinois area. Court locations and schedules are confirmed directly with each family after an inquiry.

How much does coaching cost?

Pricing depends on the program and session format. We share options and rates directly once we understand the player's goals — just send an inquiry or give us a call.

What should we bring to the first session?

Comfortable athletic clothing, court shoes with non-marking soles, a racquet if you have one, and a water bottle. If you don't own a racquet yet, let us know and we'll advise.

How will we know the player is improving?

Through our Assess → Plan → Train → Review cycle. Goals are set at the start and revisited regularly, so progress is something we can show you — not just talk about. We commit to the process and measure the progress; we don't make outcome guarantees.
