Junior Squads

 

The natural progression from Mini Tennis for players aged 10+yrs. Some squads last 1hour 30minutes running either from 4-5:30pm or 5:30-7pm, Monday to Friday, while others run for 1 hour. Squads cater for beginners of all ages through to advanced players U18. Group size is limited to eight players per group.  

 

Players sign-up for a course of x (usually 10/12) amount of weeks depending on the length of the school term. Groups will cover all four performance factors necessary to develop advanced players; technical, tactical, psychological, and physical. The programme runs in co-ordination with LTA long-term athletic development (LTAD) guidelines.  

 

Players will be encouraged to move up the progressive group structure to more advanced squads via invitation from the coach based on their effort levels displayed and performance in competition. Squads cater for both boys and girls and groups may or may not be mixed gender depending on ability.  

 

I would like all junior players to understand this famous quote by Vince Lombardi an all-time great American Football coach and apply it to their tennis:
