Important Foreword:

All of our academy sessions are designed to teach our children how to play tennis. We welcome whole-heartedly children who have never picked up a racquet and hope to set them off and guide them on a journey to become the best versions of themselves that they can be. We believe strongly in a wholesome and rounded approach to learning and feel our goal is not just to teach tennis, but the wider,  valuable life-skills such as honesty, teamwork, perseverance, focus, kindness and respect of your peers and elders along the way. We kindly ask that as parents and guardians,  you respect and echo our values and recognise that we don't profess to be, nor do we wish to be used as a childcare service. By signing up your children, you recognise and are supportive of our coaching model and our values and principles of coaching and help  to shape your children's experience when they attend with us. With that in mind,  please ensure your children are briefed on our lesson structure below. Thank you for your understanding and support. 

LESSON STRUCTURE:

- A dynamic series of warm-ups (5-10 mins)

- Technical element/focus of the week (15 mins with demonstrations and basket drills)

- Technical, tactical, and psychological development (15 mins). Open hitting in pairs or 4's, both with and without a coach present practising the specific technical skill of the week and applying it to game-situations.

- Game-based play (15 mins)

- Cool down (5 mins)

Please note:  Although we’ve assigned ages to each stage these are just a guide. We’ll always put children in the relevant group based on their ability, so please only sign up to the class relevant to their age category initially.

Thank you!
