Centercourt Athletic Club of Chatham, NJ is excited to announce the launch of its Full Time Boarding and Non Boarding Tennis Academy.

Centercourt is one of 19 USTA Certified Regional Training Centers in the United States and will host the only boarding academy in the northeast.  Centercourt Athletic Club is a modern, newly renovated state of the art tennis and fitness complex offering the region’s best year-round tennis and racquet facilities.

Academy founder and Director, Clay Bibbee, has assembled an elite staff of world class tennis and fitness professionals to help facilitate the growth and development of every junior tennis player enrolled in our program.  Assistant Director, Greg Bolitsky, is directly responsible for the day to day on court tennis curriculum development, tournament scheduling and all tournament travel with Academy players.  The Centercourt curriculum features on and off court lesson programming which includes comprehensive tennis instruction complimented with both physical and mental conditioning conducted by performance specialists; all of whom are committed to developing players into champions.  Total athletic training programs are designed to increase player development and facilitate higher overall performance by incorporating mental toughness, nutrition counseling, speed/movement, communication, and vision/reaction skills in all of our players.

Through our full time program, we offer two comprehensive academic options for all athletes. Centercourt has a partnership with the Dwight School in NYC which tailors a specific daily program to fit our athletes’ rigorous schedules. The Dwight School is an internationally recognized college preparatory school with a rich tradition of academic excellence. For more information on the Dwight School, visit their website at www.dwight.edu. The second academic option for our players is through the highly accredited Laurel Springs online schooling program. Both options are tailored to fit all of our players’ needs.

For the convenience of our national and international student athletes, residence halls are available and include separate and private boys and girls living quarters. The residence halls are part of Sun Valley, a town home complex adjacent to Centercourt’s property. Each residence includes individually controlled central air and heating, full size washer and dryer, kitchen, and wall to wall carpeting. Each residence hall will have a full time, live-in house parent to provide 24 hour supervision. 

If you are serious about your tennis and want to be the best athlete you can possibly be, you owe it to yourself to experience the Centercourt Academy firsthand!
