Up for RTC's Progressive Tennis Summer Session!
What is Progressive Tennis?
A mini-revolution is brewing in North America. The approach
is called Progressive Tennis. It is imported
from European countries such as France and Belgium where
it was used to successfully develop players like Justine
Henin-Hardenne. Progressive Tennis uses a systematic progression
of court sizes, balls, and racquets, to scale the game down
to an appropriate level for 5-9 year olds.
The power of the progressive tennis system is that it
allows players to play quickly and successfully. In Progressive
Tennis, the philosophy is that tennis is a great and fun
game to play and the quicker and more skillfully a player
can play the more fun it is. Each stage not only has specific
equipment to aid success, but particular skills to develop
as well. It is recommended a Game- Based Approach be used.
The coachs job is to get them to play, and help them
learn to play better. Simply put, Progressive Tennis
is used as a developmental tool to allow young children
to improve their overall tennis skills faster so they can
transition to the regular court with more ease. For more
