PROGRESSIVE TENNIS

 

Progressive tennis allows players between the ages 5 and 12 to play quickly and successfully. The program uses a systematic progression of scaled racquets, modified balls, and court sizes to offer competitive opportunities that are taught using a game-based approach [i.e. psychological, physical, tactical, and technical] to produce MORE and BETTER competitors. The coach primarily focuses on getting participants to play, helping them play better. Progressive tennis is used as a developmental tool to allow young children improve their overall tennis skills faster so they can transition to the regular court with more ease [Phillips, OTA, 2006]. This program is also offered to those 13+ years of age.     Academy Report Cards!
