WHAT IS SQUAD TENNIS?
Performance tennis is our description for players who are looking to take their tennis into competitive environments in local, county and national events.
Director of Coaching, Steve Cockell has been a performance coach for over 25 years and is an expert at helping junior players learn and enjoy the challenges of competitive tennis. These are namely to build a resilient set of skills and mental strength, to become a good athlete on the court and to enjoy the highs and lows of competitive tennis. Its not for everyone, but those that choose to play tennis in this way are embarking on an amazing journey that will help devlop their sporting prowess and their character over the time that they play on court.
Class Categories
We have 3 areas that we specialise in for our squad program. These age groups allow players to come to us at different points in their development and link into the competitive pathway of local events and competitions
9&U Orange Squad
This is our earliest age group which covers good Red Ball and early Orange Ball players aged 7-9yrs. The aim here is to get players using court space, learning basic tactics and scoring games correctly.
11&U Green Squad
Green squad tennis uses the whole court spaces and a green transitional ball. The players now have more space to use and start to develop their physical skills on court as well as more effective serving skills.
14&U & 16&U Yellow Squad
Junior tennis is played from 12&U through to 18&U and we prepare players for these challenges. Players play upwards of 8-10 hours per week at this age group if they are serious players so its a bigger commitment.
