How does all the coaching work?
Currently all of our classes are run alongside the Victorian school term. Meaning, if there are 10 weeks of school for the term, we run 10 weeks of coaching for that term.
*There are currently no classes on school holidays*
The current dates for the current term are at the top of this page
All classes are run from: Mon - Friday, 4:30-8:30pm and Saturday's 9:00am-4pm
When are classes run?
How are classes Structured?
-For most classes we typically apply the following approach: a warm-up, an activity/exercise to develop a fundamental motor skill(which is relevant to the particular theme of the week), then 1-3 of our main drills/activities, followed by a live-ball scenario or a game/match-play scenario that is designed to test students on what they've learnt at the beginning of the class.
- As well as structuring each class we also structure each week of the term. Each week we have a different theme depending on which week of the term we are in. Example- a typical term looks like the following: week 1 - Forehands, week 2 backhands, week 3 serves, week 4 volleys, etc. This allows us to go deep into that particular stroke or area of the game and it ensures we build well rounded players. It also gives players a chance to work on all aspects of their game.
- Not only do we structure each week to have a particular theme, we also structure each term so there is a clear progression from more of a drilling/physical approach at the start of the term, to a more tactical/mental focus towards the end of the term.
How are classes grouped?
Each class is usually grouped by age first, particularly at the younger ages. However classes are also dependant on skill level. So as an example, if we have a player that's 6years old and is too good for the 5-6year Joey class, we may move them up to the 7-8year transitional class. This is usually at the discretion of the players coach. We pay close attention and take great care to match each class as best as possible and if we believe a player should switch to another class, we will let you know. It's ultimately for their benefit so they can develop as quickly as possible as a player
