The Mid-Atlantic section designates up to eight programs to be Certified USTA/Mid-Atlantic Competition Training Centers (CTC). As a CTC, the program will host training sessions for competitive players within its geographical area. This program is not designed to replace regular practice schedules, but rather to add new dimensions to a player’s training. The goal of this program is to improve mental, physical, and technical abilities based on level of play, and will consist of skill development, pattern play, on-court mental skills, sports nutrition, fitness training, modified point play, doubles drills, and set and match play.
