Peter, Meghan and Teru are all outstanding student athletes who also excell at giving back the sport they love.
Two days after playing on the finals for the National Championships Peter was at NATC teaching our 
High Performance players. He will continue to drop in at least once per week as his OSU schedule permitts.
Meghan was one of our busiest instructors during our 2012 summer program and also spent several hours
each week as a student in our HP clinics developing her weapons and helping our younger players improve
their defensive skills. 
Teru also prepared for her college season by teaching and training with our summer HP high school juniors
and taking lessons from NATC/KTA Coach Silvia Ebenezer. 
All three athletes also attributed a rigorous summer physical fitness schedule as a major factor in their recent success. 

NATC/KTA Juniors - something to look forward to: As our way of saying "thank you" to our high school graduates
and to continue to prepare them for success in college tennis and beyond, NATC/KTA provides a graduation gift of 4 years
of unlimited attendance to our junior High Performance Program whenever they are back home.
