Tennis Practice
On this page you will find little challenges to keep your tennis skills up at home. Players attending group coaching should watch and practice the first five videos until they have made good progress. There maybe some help needed with a partner (parent, sibling, friend etc) but each video is only a few minutes long making practice achievable and is accompanied by a worksheet to track progress.
Stage 1
Stage 2
Once you have mastered the basics it’s time to take your game to the next level. Although the mini tennis system has age group ratings it is about mastering the levels. As a rough guidance red = under 8s, orange 9 and under and green 10 and under. The programmes are progressive having an increase in challenge as well as the court size. If you’re not sure where to start go through the foundation practice and then speak to your coach for their advice. Before taking on the challenge please look at the Champion player conduct and complete the Player checklist
Now you’ve completed the above, download the training session that’s right for you. This has been designed as a two sessions a week training block for 12 weeks but can be adapted and worked through at the players own pace. If following the twice a week schedule you will alternate between Part 1 and Part two. If you have any Qs please speak to your coach but this has been designed to take the player on their own reflective journey with initial focus, training and reflection. Before and after each session players should warm up ready to perform and stretch to promote recovery, good luck!
Stage 3
If you have an outdoor wall and it’s safe and you have parents permission you can also have a go at the wall drill series. Practicing against the wall is a great way to improve many elements of your game without the need to have a partner. There is 50 in total which I have broken down into sets of 10 with little challenges, I hope you enjoy them and with practice they will transform your game!
