PATP, Pre-Advanced Tournament Program
Directed by Coach Alex
Both the Grand Prix and PATP programs are directed by Coach Alex, a USPTA and PTR certified professional with over 20 years developing high-performance players and coaching on the WTA Tour. He personally runs every player's evaluation, so families start in exactly the right program.
For intermediate players starting to compete.
PATP is for intermediate juniors who are starting to compete: players entering USTA Level 7 and Level 6 tournaments, or starting to compete in Junior Team Tennis. It is not a beginner program. If your child is new to tennis or still learning the basics, Grand Prix is the right place to start.
- Level 1Just starting to compete (JTT, first Level 7 events)
- Level 2Competing regularly in Level 7 and Level 6
- Level 3Advanced competitors, up to a 3.0 UTR
Graduating to ATP: players move up through the levels as their results and skills grow. Once a Level 3 player is approaching a 3.5 UTR and competing consistently, their coach will recommend them for an ATP placement meeting with Director Darin Pleasant.
We don't require a UTR for PATP. Every player first goes through a free 15-minute evaluation with Coach Alex, so we place them at the right level.
How to apply for PATP
Book a free 15-minute on-court evaluation with Coach Alex. He'll assess your player's skills and place them in the correct level (1, 2, or 3). Then they fill out their info at the front desk and they're enrolled.

The free 15-minute evaluation with Coach Alex makes sure your player starts in the right program. Grand Prix players generally don't need one, it's for families moving into PATP or ATP.
A club account is required for PATP and ATP.
This isn't optional, every parent of a PATP or ATP player has a club account on file. Here's why: we only charge for the days a player actually shows up. Rather than collect payment on the court each day, we tally attendance and bill the credit card on file at the end of the month. It's cleaner for you, easier on our front desk, and means missed days never cost you anything.
