Setting up an after school 'Modern Tennis' club comes at no cost for the school and also includes a FREE curriculum time taster session for the schools pupils. All equipment will be provided free of charge by Tennis Plus.

TEACHING MODERN TENNIS IN SCHOOLS

The MTI (Modern Tennis International) have launched their schools program to bring Modern Tennis to both primary and secondary schools throughout the UK and Tennis Plus will be working alongside the MTI to bring this fantastic tennis teaching methodology to schools in Gloucetsershire. In the past PE co-ordinators/teachers have been reluctant to teach tennis in schools due to the percieved difficulty however with Modern Tennis this is all set to change.

See what, Simon Grassi Head of Tennis, & Kimberley Holt, PE teacher at Charters School Ascot think of our simple modern tennis system.

How the programme works.

Modern Tennis International (MTI) will provide the whole package.

We start with offering school tennis to key stage 2, 3 pupils. Key stage 4 pupils then have the option to take a VRQ Level 2 qualification at their school. This is equivalent to a GSCE grade ‘B’.

This qualification offers 46 performance points per pupil to the host school for their national league standings

Key steps to school tennis success:

Step 1. Key stage 2 internal PE training raising tennis awareness.

Step 2. Easy Tennis Primary School League. (Details available with teacher training)

Step 3. Key stage 3 and 4 internal PE training raising tennis awareness. This will help local club promotion

Step 4. Easy Tennis Secondary School League (details available with teacher training)
