ATOMIC
TENNIS COACHING OPTIONS AND PATHWAY:
Here is
a list of the coaching options provided by Atomic Tennis.
MINI
ATOMS:
The first stage of Technical coaching. Here the children are aiming
to rally. There is a test at the end of the course to see if the players
are able to be moved into the next progression. An emphasis on all round
skills also, with agility, understanding of flight paths and spins of
the ball.
POCKET
ROCKETS:
Here the players are starting to show more understanding of movement
on court and less inclined to be helped into grips and stances. The
orange player starts to develop more consistency in their ability to
move the ball around and in their preparation. Developing an over arm
serve and some simple tactics the player become confident to rally freely.
ATOMIC
POWER:
Players within this colour are showing attributes and characteristics
on court that will provide them to play in competition. This being,
full court, full games with tie breaks and court etiquette. Green players
must be showing signs of an all round game, with an understanding of
strengths and weaknesses within their own game and the opponent's. Match
tactics become more important to the individual and their style of play.
The coach and player work together on this and encourage lots of rally
and game based drills within the course.
PERFORMANCE
AND DEVELOPMENT SQUADS:
Players who are invited to join development squads are playing more
competitive tennis. Match tactics, drilling, consistency, movement and
fitness make up the sessions, with more time spent on sport psychology,
building the ability to control the mind, and to win.
ADULT GROUP COACHING:
Four lessons over two weeks. With small groups of only four players,
these courses are tailored to the level of the group, but more on game
positioning and tactics rather than technical grips and swings. Three
of these courses will be held over the ten week term, allowing one week
break between courses in case of rain or bad weather.
All of these programmes run all year round, we are always tinkering with the programmes to give our students the best possible service, so prices and numbers in the groups are open to change. Please contact us regarding the right option for you!
