Built around every player. Tennis. Performance. School.

The McKinney campus
One campus. Everything a player needs.
TAG Tennis is home at our McKinney campus: indoor and outdoor turf, a hard court, a performance space and classrooms, all on one campus and one schedule.
Speed, footwork and movement work, whatever the weather.
An indoor basketball and hard court for agility, coordination and court movement.
Strength, power and injury-prevention work, built for tennis.
The Athlete School, on the same campus as training.
Open-air conditioning and endurance work.
The TAG bus. Players will travel from the McKinney campus to the tennis courts and back on a TAG bus, so the whole day runs on one schedule.
The method
Every player is different. So is every path.
There is no standard program at TAG Tennis. Each player follows an individual plan built on three pillars, in proportions that change with their age, level, goals, school and tournament calendar.
The game itself, coached with the player’s own development in mind.
- Technique and stroke development
- Tactics and match patterns
- Match play and competition preparation
- Specific work on each player’s priorities
The athlete first, then the tennis player: physical work built around the demands of the court.
- Movement and footwork
- Speed, agility and change of direction
- Strength and rotational power
- Endurance for long matches and long weeks
Recovery is part of the plan, not what is left at the end of the week.
- Mobility and flexibility
- Load management across the season
- Injury prevention
- Rest planned around tournaments
Coaches identify what each player needs right now (a pattern, a shot, a physical quality) and build it into the week, on court and in the performance area. As the player grows, the plan changes with them.
The program
What every player gets.
Built for one player: their level, goals, school and tournament calendar, planned with the player and family.
Technical, tactical and match play, with a coach who knows the player’s game.
Speed, footwork, strength and rotational power, built on the methods behind Daniil Medvedev’s physical preparation.
Mobility, recovery and load management, so players stay healthy through the season.
The pattern, the shot or the physical quality each player needs, built into the week.
The Athlete School, organized around the training day.
How each plan is built
No two players. No two weeks the same.
- Assess
The player’s game, body, goals, school and calendar.
- Plan
The right mix of tennis, performance, recovery and school for this player.
- Train
Week after week, with specific work on what matters now.
- Review and adjust
After each block and each tournament, the plan moves with the player.
Two players. One coach.
No crowded courts and no generic group sessions. Every session is planned around the player in front of the coach.
The platform · The Athlete School
