ACADEMY COACHING COURSE
Tennis continues to reach new levels of performance and as such the teaching of tennis must not only keep in touch but stay ahead of the game. The Academy course will ensure that coaches are shown the latest techniques and developments taking place in the tennis world with specific reference and detailed information from the leading Spanish Academies. The course is designed for coaches who are currently working with or aiming to work with advanced players.

The course is a mixture of oncourt and online learning modules and gives the basis for a development framework and planning of programmes and sessions for training at this level.
