Junior Coaching

IMG_1820.jpg

There is an extensive junior coaching programme running in the club, catering for all ages (5-18yrs), and all abilities, Monday through Sunday. Your child can do from 1 hour to 8+ hours coaching per week according to their ability and ambition.  They may just want to learn how to hit a ball and play the game, or progress all the way to tournament level.  The coaches will discuss all queries in this regard.

TENNIS ACADEMY

With over 100 juniors actively participating each week, our training squads run 7 days a week and cater for juniors starting as young as 5 years of age through to intervarsity college players. The purpose of the tennis academy is to deliver performance coaching and training to juniors looking to improve their technique and match play.   Tennis technique, court fitness, mental strength, and tactics are key pillars of the training program.

While the academy program is designed with ‘performance’ in mind, it also aims to make learning tennis a fun and socially rewarding experience and the long-tenure of existing students is testament to this underlying ethos.

There are several ‘tiers’ or levels within the academy program.  Examples include:

  • ‘Starter’ Squad  Level: Training once per week (1-2 hrs)

  • ‘League’ Squad  Level: Training twice per week (3-4 hrs)

  • ‘Tournament’ Squad 3 Level: Training 3 times per week (6 hrs)

There is also a range of group sessions each week for children of different ages and ability. The academy aims to cater for players of all levels – from beginner through to national tournament player. Steve personally assesses all students in order to make sure the right fit for each student.
