Our Saturday Morning Tennis Coaching for juniors, held at the South Camden Tennis Club is basically our entry level coaching for juniors. Junior groups address the generic skills of the young player.
It is their opportunity to learn the basic technical and tactical requirements to improve their game and thus their oveall enjoyment of the sport.
It is perhaps the least expensive form of junior coaching, but they tend to enjoy the social interaction that comes with group coaching while developing their skills.
Obvoiusly, the time spent with the coach is less than private coaching, but until the student shows a real interest in the game, it is an opportunity to expose them to a sport that they can play for life and not break the bank.
Students progress at their own pace, when they reach a certain level of development in one group, they are promoted up to the next more advanced group. Until they reach a stage of proficiency in the 8am group where they are directed into their first junior tennis competition. We run our own internal 'Introduction to Competition tennis' afternoon junior tennis competition, that prepares them for the real thing. It address positional play, scoring and other general bits and pieces that students should be aware of when entering a competition such as the Camden Tennis Association Junior comps.
Our Group coaching on Saturday is structured in the following way:-
- 10am - 11am Group - Beginners group, concentrating on basic stroke and footwork
- 9am - 10am Group - Intermediate group, involving more movement, approach the ball correctly, serve and volleys
- 8am - 9am Group - More advanced group, quite proficient, getting ready to start their tennis career in junior tennis comp.
We attempt to keep our groups small, around the 6 or 7 for the hour. We also try to keep them in compatible groups, both in terms of age and sex. Group sizes can vary in an attempt to make the students feel comfortable during the learning process. Fees are currently set at $60 for 8 X 1 hr lessons over 8 weeks. All lessons are conducted in the State School Terms, we do not coach on long weekends or public holidyas.
