Raising healthy humans: life, sport, and school

Success is not confined to the court. By balancing athletics and academics, one cultivates a well-rounded, competitive student.

Attitude, discipline, hustle, courage, and ability are key elements celebrated by Ashley Hobson that define a successful student on the court. These attributes are synonymous with Novella Prep values that are encouraged in the classroom. When success is achieved in school and in sport, the outcome is a capable student who is more often and more successfully recruited by top universities.

Academic excellence meets athletic achievement

Novella Prep and Hobson Performance Tennis have partnered to provide a unique opportunity to help students reach their full potential in school and sport. While Novella Prep works with students holistically to achieve academic success, Hobson Performance works with student athletes to instill traits that are key in developing tennis champions. Whether 5th grade, 9th grade, high school, or in college, our partnership helps families resolve academic challenges and optimize achievement focused on health and wellbeing

Because much has changed in the college admissions landscape, the core tenets of a successful application process have heightened the combination of academic performance and athletic prowess – both are needed now.
