Research has shown that tennis can increase physical fitness as well as mental capacity. It is also a lifelong sport that can be enjoyed all through adulthood and into the senior years. 

Accordingly, students at PODER receive lessons from a tennis instructor as part of their school day. They begin with the basics, learning how to stretch, catch, throw, and move around the court. Students also undergo activities designed to improve their hand-eye coordination as well as their overall fitness. 

Students then move into more advanced techniques until they are proficient enough to compete. The goal is to strengthen the self-reliance and focus needed for success in college, as well as to produce some of the best competitive players in the state.
