Training –Club Performance Players
The Tennis Plus Academy will
run as an addition to the current courses and squads and will focus
on the clubs elite players who show good potential and demonstrate
a high level of play both technically and tactically with a commitment
to competing regularly in tournaments and improving both their LTA
British Tennis rating and ranking. Academy players are also expected
to representing the club(Glos. LTC) in all team competitions as and
when required.
The Tennis Plus Academy is aimed at players ranked inside the counties
top 10 for their age group or at the very least are on the fringe
and looking to break into this top 10 within the next 12 months. Juniors
of exceptional standard may well be moved up to a squad training above
their age bracket.
Training of academy squads will take place with head coach Ioan Evans
(CCA) .
Playing Criteria.
As a guide from the LTA to develop into a performance player your
weekly programme in hours should roughly equal your age. e.g 12 yrs
old = 12hrs of tennis & fitness training.
All juniors over 12yrs should be performing additional fitness training
sessions to compliment their tennis play this could be in the form
of specific fitness training or participation in other sport activity.
If any older juniors would like to attend a fitness/weights class
held at the Riverside please contact Ioan and arrangement will be
made for a consultation with one of the Riverside’s fitness
team. For those that are interested we are looking to set up a weekly
fitness session with a qualified instructor on Saturday mornings 9.00am-10.00am
in the gym at the Riverside. (please place your name on the club notice
board if you would like to attend this class. (start end of September).
In addition to the above individual lessons to work on technique are
highly recommended along with additional free hitting and serving
practice. Why not arrange friendly matches amongst yourselves?
