The foundation for working on stroke technique begins at this stage. The objective of this stage is to differentiate between the forehand and the backhand. It is important to help the student develop creativity and imagination while encouraging fun engagement.
Assimilate the technical concepts. Adjust and improve technique from the back swing to contact to finishing the shot from the waiting position after doing the split step. Initiate the exchange of balls between players without the participation of the coach Basic competition, with adapted rules, can start to begin.
GREEN GROUP
When our players arrive at this stage, they have been sharpening their strokes, their agility, balance and coordination. Now, they learn how to place the ball intentionally and position themselves properly in the court. They're ready to develop more dynamic movement. Drills/controls can become more challenging. They should start rallying with a partner, and they're encouraged to play at least 1 tournament per month.
Develop coordination by catching tennis ball while standing on one foot, playing tag in a space designated by the coach, and jumping over small cones. 10-12 mins.
Fitness will consist in getting the body active and ready at all times introducing different exercises of carioca quick step, and shuffle from side to side. Learn to stand one foot for a period of time. Jump over small hurdles landing in a good tennis position among others.
Understand why players must warm-up. Display knowledge of injury prevention exercises for shoulders (elastic external rotations, Y's, T's and rows). Engage in Level 1 of ladder (agility) exercises. Gain better understanding of foot placement.
Players have the opportunity to play the tournaments organized and validated for the USTA Youth progression.
These tournaments are divided by categories and levels:
Green • Orange
