Jordan Reiley
Antoine AudrainOnalee BatchellerJordan was born and raised in Manorville, NY, deep in the woods of eastern Long Island. He is a graduate of SUNY Oneonta, where he played college tennis and received a BS in Psychology. Following college, Jordan began coaching full-time, his passion for working with competitive junior players taking him from LI to NYC to Miami and to Spain. He is formerly the director of junior program at Future Stars Aspatuck.
Antoine hails from Vannes, France, where he competed on the Junior Tour, winning Erdever Tournament and Brittany Championships. In the U.S., he excelled at Division I Southern Miss and NAIA William Carey, where he achieved a top-18 ranking and 12-1 record (2024). Antoine is en route to complete his MBA this year. Antoine channels positive energy through all modalities - sport, life, and coaching. Onalee, a Westhampton Beach native, grew up as a competitive tennis player and played a key role in WHB’s Long Island Championship win in 2019. She continued at SUNY New Paltz, competing in singles and doubles and contributing to four SUNYAC titles. Along the way, she earned degrees in Business Management and now enjoys helping players of all levels develop their skills and passion for the game.    
HCTA was formed in response to tennis’ current reality.

Reality:
  1. Tennis is pretty expensive.
  2. Tennis has a steep learning curve.
  3. Understanding what it takes to improve, and the practicality of getting there, requires genuine mentorship and coaching.
  4. Socializing is awesome and is a big draw for bringing people together for tennis, but:
  5. Bringing people together is not easy (see: why tennis clubs exist).

Solutions:
  1. Make tennis affordable. 
  2. Ease tennis’ learning curve through legitimate, academy-style instruction.
  3. Educate players, parents, and the community on opportunities (competitive and otherwise) that exist in tennis, and the college tennis pathway.
  4. Foster a grassroots community that plays and learns together, while developing new ways for people to gather and play. 
  5. HCTA

 Solutions in mind, HCTA’s mission is Engaging Aptitude Through Tennis

Aptitude is what you’re born with. Your natural ability. 

Be that as it may, the emergence of one’s true aptitude hinges on community and mentorship, along with a discipline by which to practice. 

That discipline need not be your aptitude, but through mentorship and medium, anything taught and exercised well can bring out the best in oneself, and guide one to find what and where their best is.

HCTA’s discipline is tennis. What aptitude will it bring out in you?
