Clinic: Adult Development

Description

In the Adult Development clinic, players sign up for class because they have much specific tennis and general experience that enables them to try new ideas and activities in a comfortable and appropriate environment. They have made the decision personally to learn and or play tennis in their spare time so high quality programs that are enjoyable and purposeful are essential for them. Most adults sign up for class for general learning but some of them come for individual needs which help them become better players.

Often the adult wants to improve a specific stroke like the backhand volley in order to be a better double player, or play in a league and the challenge of doing so will be taken on. Many adults book sessions in order to get a good hit or want to play points. That’s why our adults tennis program is been designed with different teaching skills and style to satisfy the needs of our adult players by putting the player’s needs first , modify his own behavior in response to the player , demonstrate high standard of personal behavior all the time an treat every player in a consistent and fair manner at all time . This program is designed for any adult 20 – 90 years old. This age group level of play can be beginner/ intermediate and semi-advance . The number of players in a clinic is 3 to 8 per court for a 1h 30 min training .

The objective in this program is to take every player through the entire game situation in single and double when learning and developing all techniques and tactics to improve their motor skills to become better and competitive players.
