Carleton - Competitive Tennis Development Centre

As you may already know, junior competitive Tennis Development Center is starting at Carleton University at the end of September. Several physical fitness tryouts were held and we are happy to see a strong and motivated contingent of young players who will work with the junior development coaches throughout a 10-month annual training cycle.

Two of those players are featured below.

Noor Nabaa, age 11, is a fiercely competitive tennis girl who joined coach Michael's Regulation Ball competitive team late last winter and trained through the summer outdoors in the East End at Colonel By courts. She has a solid, steady two-handed backhand and enjoys playing from a baseline often finishing points with precision angles or lethal down the line backhands. She is working to develop more speed to her movement, improve her serve and gain confidence at the end to be able to play more all court game. Working with Noor has been a real fun as she is a friendly, smart  and hard working player with a great sense of humor. 

Filip Popadich, age (almost) 9, is an up-and-coming Ottawa tennis junior star. With almost fully developed bio-mechanics of a pro-serve that already distinguishes between the first and second serve, and with relaxed yet quick on court movement and all court game, Filip is a pleasure to watch in action, both in practice and in competitive matches. The boy has been traveling extensively the province over the past 10 months playing close to 15 individual U10 competitive events all over Ontario and learning how control emotions and how to focus at important moments. Coach Michael is very proud of the progress Filip made over the past 2 years. The player is enrolled in the Regulation ball program and trains with Noor and older players.
