Coach Yuan’s philosophy places strong emphases on competing, teamwork, developing a complete game, and above all sportsmanship.
Coach Yuan’s approach focuses on improving physical and mental aspects of both singles and doubles play. Drills involve hand and live ball feeding and repetition and are completed with high-energy and focus.
The Suffield Varsity Tennis team has historically trained with top-ranked USTA players, international standouts, and recreational players who have had some formal coaching. Our demanding schedule regularly matches us up against some of the strongest teams in the WNEPSA. We have made it to the New England tournament twice in the last ten years. Coach Yuan ’05 was a four-year member of the Suffield Academy Boys’ Varsity Tennis team and went on to play D3 at Grinnell College in Iowa. Over the last few years, the Suffield squad has worked with students who have gone on to be major contributors to Division I, and strong Division II and III programs including Loyola Maryland, Williams, Union, Franklin and Marshall, and Bentley.
