Our group lessons start with a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 6 children per group lesson. Each lesson is 45 minutes long for a total of 8 lessons per term. This lesson structure will be suitable for Beginners to Advanced tennis players, from Grade R to Grade 7.
The focus of our group lessons is to expose younger children, from as young as four years of age to the game of tennis in a safe environment, where they can learn to play tennis in a 'fun' and energetic way.
Our goal is to teach them a love of the sport as they systematically develop into full-fledged tennis players.
Although a group lesson structure is more suited for children between the ages of four and nine, we also offer group lessons for our older and more advanced tennis players where they will be placed with other players who are of more or less of the same skill and ability level as they are.
Our squad lessons start with a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 16 children per squad lesson. Each lesson is 1 hour (60 minutes) long for a total of 8 lessons per term.
This lesson structure will be suitable for Intermediate to Advanced tennis players, from grade 4 to 7 who, outside of their group or private lessons, would like to participate in a squad where they can play points against other children of more or less the same ability and skill level as they are.
The focus of our squad lessons is not to replace any group or private coaching, as no technical development is worked on during squad drills. The goal of a squad lesson is to focus mainly on tactical play and the different game situations that this type of player can expect in matches and tournaments.
Therefore, no technical assistance will be provided as it will defeat the purpose of the squad lesson. Squad lessons will therefore never be able to replace the technical skills they get to learn in group lessons and private lessons.
Each player still has to do an extra group or private lesson per week to take care of their technical development.
