![]() They have a nice locker room if you need to shower (note: I couldn’t find a hair dryer in the women’s locker room). It is a bit cheaper if you stay at the resort (and even cheaper if you buy the tennis package)-all prices are online so you can decide what works for you. We didn’t stay at the resort and instead stayed in downtown Stowe but it was an easy 8 minute ride every morning for the 9:30 am clinics (which was a great time to do clinics…not too early but left the rest of the day to enjoy). We both prefer to play singles and although most drills involve 2 players per side, we felt like the instruction was useful regardless of whether you play singles or doubles. We are 3.5 and 4.5 and both felt challenged, although the 4.5 had a few days where he was the best player (not all days though) and oftentimes the pros would step in and play in the drills so that was great, particularly for the strongest players. The levels of players varies each day (from 3.0-5.0) but the instructors try to put similar-level players together and tailor drills to skill level, after observing everyone. Overall we either used 2 or 3 courts, depending on overall participants (maxed out at 12, I believe)-each court had a pro. But the summer Vermont weather is glorious for tennis and we had great weather. If the weather is bad, indoor courts are used. They have a total of 6 outdoor har-tru courts and four indoor hard courts. The instructors were excellent, engaged, and kept things moving- I really can’t say enough good things about them. ![]() "We did five days of 2-hour clinics at Topnotch and would return again.Speaking of of whom, my boy-girl twins took a terrific Junior Academy with Georgio, and I came away amazed by their progress after 2 hours."-R.W., Adv., August 2022 So also, my lesson gave me many clear takeaways for forehand, backhand & serve + valuable ideas about how I can coach & mentor the next generation of tennis enthusiasts, starting with my grandchildren. I left each Academy with clear takeaways for my game and was amazed at how coaches Georgi and Jamie were able to quickly spot areas for improvement and share actionable tips to practice in the moment and after-thus avoiding the 'one-size-fits-all' trap in many group clinics. Coaching by Simba Happy & his team is tops, IMO, based on their 2 hour morning Adult Academy + a private lesson I squeezed in between family vacation obligations.
