Tennis Fanitics - Training on Clay is needed for the game!

West Coast Expansion: As more people recognize that playing on clay is essential for the development of champions (note that the USTA has committed to getting more players on clay as part of its training strategy and last month announced the shift of its largest junior tournament, the Orange Bowl, from hard to Har-Tru), the west coast stands to have the most to gain. Junior tennis players in this huge tennis market simply do not have adequate exposure to clay court tennis, hence the drought of champions from the great state of California (hear what Vania King has to say about training on clay). That tide is beginning to turn. Napa Valley Country Club became the first club in NorCal to install ClayTech courts and other clubs are scrambling to see how they can add clay and avoid falling behind.

Har-Tru Sports is the largest manufacturer of clay tennis court surfaces in the world. We have courts in all 50 American states and approximately 23 countries worldwide. We want to help develop champions around the world and hope to do this through product innovation, scholarships and sponsorships. Let us know how we can help you.
