LTA YOUTH
Tennis coaching for 4 to 16 year olds.
There are 5 stages for children to complete: BLUE, RED, ORANGE, GREEN & YELLOW.
BLUE
4 to 6 year olds
Young kids are bundles of energy just running around without a care in the world. But the programme is designed to finesse their fine motor skills like balance, agility and coordination. At this stage it’s not about winning or losing but just getting to grips with the basics.
Our lessons are open to all abilities and include skills that are transferable to all sports.
Each week has it's own theme for example, approaching the net.
Each lesson is broken into 4 areas:
-
Warm Up: Pulse raiser followed by agility, balance, coordination and speed exercises. Finishing with Racket skills.
-
Challenge: Linked or conditioned to the theme of the week, players will be assessed to highlight areas to improve.
-
Improve: Players will progress through drills to improve in areas related to the them of the week.
-
Serve: Players will have approximately 5-10 minutes in every lesson to practice their serve as its the most important shot.
-
Compete: Either small matches or a fun game to finish the lesson.
TEAM COMPETITION
