Advantage Tennis Clubs has partnered with Harel Surge of the Srugo Tennis Academy (STA), an independent high-performance junior tennis academy based at the New York Tennis Club. Designed for advanced players—not beginners or recreational athletes—STA prepares juniors to compete at the Division I college level and beyond, with students consistently earning top sectional and national rankings, winning USTA national titles, and competing successfully in ITF events. The program emphasizes footwork, balance, fluid movement, technique, and mental toughness. Tryouts require a minimum UTR based on age and goals, and both player ability and family commitment are key factors in the admissions process.
