What is Upswing?

Upswing is an invite-only program for KCTL’s most committed students who show a passion for tennis, desire to improve, and the potential to advance their game. UpSwing students receive more specific and technical coaching, as well as more opportunities to challenge themselves on the court.

If you have any questions about KCTL’s UpSwing Program please contact Program Manager Eric Fomba: eric.fomba@kctl.org
