Why Jackson-Bridge Tennis Academy?
Jackson-Bridge Tennis Academy (JBTA) is an elite FULL-TIME ACADEMY for local, national, and international players. Jackson-Bridge provides their players the vehicle they need to maximize their development with all students receiving individualized instruction in a high-intensity and informative environment.
A priority of JBTA is developing a CEO mentality of leadership, focus, organization, self-discipline, team building, self-improvement and the daily grind of building something special. These elements combined with our comprehensive technical, tactical, physical and mental development systems are what makes us a final destination academy.
TRAINING MODES
Individual Instruction
Following a Pro Tour model, we believe private instruction and player management should be included in every player’s development plan. All JBTA players are assigned a private coach based on the players game style and training needs. As a part of the individualized instruction, we create cohesion by updating parent with periodic evaluations.
Athletic Development
JBTA places a very high focus on overall player fitness for improved performance and injury prevention. Players have to be strong, flexible, and quick to be successful in this sport. Our fitness program is 60-90 min daily and includes strength training, static and dynamic stretching, on-court and off-court sprint work, movement, agility, and body maintenance/physical therapy.
Evaluations
We have a two-fold evaluation method. The first part is our Performance Evaluation Assessment Key P.E.A.K. which assesses a player’s current ability and projects future proficiency. The second component of the method is our Competitive Edge Plan C.E.P. a roadmap for our players daily training. Player Evaluations are updated monthly for review.
CAREER SPECIFIC
Pro Career Development
Our PATH-TO-PRO program involves systematic training designed by KEVIN JACKSON and MITCH BRIDGE. The player roster is limited to 4-6 players. Players are typically ages 12-30 years with 5 to 7 years playing experience and are competing in National to ITF tournaments. Training modes include private instruction, athletic development, tournament prep, and mental toughness training. Tournament and career management is provided with the involvement from parent managers.
College Bound Training
The Jackson-Bridge PATH-TO-COLLEGE tennis program is for players who attend independent/online academic programs and are playing Junior Open to National tournaments. Players in this Path-to-College tennis program are typically ages 11-18, with the program customized for the specific needs of each player. College placement is offered to all of our Path-to-College players starting in Grade 10. Training modes include private instruction, athletic development, tournament prep, and mental toughness training.

EDUCATION
On-Court: Mental Training
JBTA’s mental training consists of many parts like habit development (on-court, off-court), mindset training, career-specific disciplines, competitive fairness (no cheating), and on-court presence development. Our players are encouraged to know tennis history and research pro players that share their game style. These are some of the aspects we cover to build a complete player.
Off-Court: Academics
The goal of the Academy Learning Center is to provide a structured, supportive learning environment for independent study students. Individualized instruction, program coordination, and student accountability will be our primary focus. By providing individualized instruction and support for each academy student, we seek to provide an optimal educational experience.
