"Among the greatest professionals ever to teach the game." - Tim Heckler, CEO, USPTA
RMTA is conveniently located at the luxurious Boca Lago Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida.
The Macci Academy is a very personalized program... it is not a factory. Each day students receive individual instruction with a small student/pro ratio for drilling, point play, group fitness and athletic enhancement. Often the student will play the coaches in points and matches!
A BIG key to Junior Development is playing matches and competing daily. All students, depending on the skill level, will compete each and every day in sets and matches. Sometimes the matches will be supervised and sometimes the players will be on their own and duplicate a tournament environment. This is a HUGE key to handling pressure and delivering when it counts most...in matches!
The Academy program also includes daily "wall training" for grooving and repetition development. Tennis is a skill sport and proper technique is a MUST! Players will hit hundreds of balls every day with the wall...to this day...the wall is UNDEFEATED!
Sports psychology is an integral part of the Macci program. Besides the world-renown on court mental training received in private lessons with Rick, the Academy is associated with one of the top sports psychologists in the country, Dr. Robert Heller. He is personally available to every student and family, no matter what age or skill level. For more information on "Winning Edge" mind-body strategies for performing at your best you can visit www.TheWinningEdge.USPTApro.com. Be sure to mention that you are an RMTA family to receive a special offer.
The Academy Staff is all USPTA-certified with former World Tennis Association touring coach, Marco Martizi spear-heading the RMTA coaching staff. Marco brings tremendous expertise in the player development area for every level. Marco and the entire staff share the same Macci teaching philosophy and all the pros are available for private lessons outside of the Academy schedule.
