The Previdi System

When Bill Previdi was a college player (St. John’s University, New York), his coach often said that “ tennis (doubles) was the only team sport you will play where no one teaches you the plays.” When Bill began teaching professionally he felt that if he could come up with “plays” for his players it would take all the guesswork out of playing doubles and make players on a team interchangeable. Bill and Matt have been refining what has evolved intoThe Previdi System for the past 10 years.

The Previdi System is designed for the players we teach. Adult, competitive players between 2.0 and 5.0. The principles are universal and can be used by any level player but we wanted something for the players we teach, which addresses their strengths and weaknesses, needs and wants. We have also found that many players who have been playing for a long time are more reluctant to learn new things, even things that can benefit them.

Bill and Matt are tennis pros, not internet pros. We are in the trenches, teaching adult players every day. We know what we teach works because we see it every day. These drills and skills were developed while teaching so there’s no ivory tower here. We also are teaching you skills for your level, not based on how professional players play. The Previdi System is a comprehensive program, complete with everything you need to be successful. It’s not just a series of random tips either.

The beauty of The Previdi System is that you will start seeing improvement in your results the first day you implement it. We just got back from Tulsa where we taught over 200 players in six days. We had players running down on the court to tell us they had just won a match using what they had learned the day before! You’re learning how to set up points better so even if you have only learned a part of the entire system you will be getting match results right away.

No you don’t Unlike too many tennis pros, we know you have the strokes you need to get better results already. A question we always ask at our clinics is ,” Have you ever lost to someone with worse strokes than you?” Of course everyone says yes with a groan. We then ask them why they would still keep tinkering with their shots, grips, etc. if there is no correlation between strokes and results. It’s a liberating moment for our students.

In The Previdi System, you need to learn shots for situations. We use drills to teach you to have more efficient strokes and we teach you shots for situations. For example, you need to be able to hit touch, angle volleys so we do The Touch Volley Progression to help you to learn this skill. There are a lot of examples of shots for situations in The Previdi System. You need to be able to execute all the shots to set up your points. Our drills and games will do that for you.

The two most import qualities you can have in your game are accuracy and consistency. If you make all of your shots and hit them where you want them to go, you can beat anyone. Accuracy and Consistency are the vore principles of The Previdi System.
