TAV North

TAV North Program Information
We look forward to continuing the success of TAV North for a second year! We again will be offering elite coaching and play for players in the North Dallas area. By continuing TAV in North Dallas, we will continue to allow young players to get the quality TAV club management and coaching that has become a trademark of TAV without the travel issues for younger players traveling to the TAV main facility just south of DFW airport.

The goal of TAV North in its second season is to offer competitive play and practice through quality coaching to young players. During the 2013 season TAV North plans to carry 4 teams that will consist of 12’s – 15’s. We will be making efforts to keep the cost down by playing in more local quality events while reducing travel to a minimum yet continuing to promote player development thru great coaching and intensity of training. TAV North will attempt to create a competitive atmosphere that will push its players to excel on the court.
