We have tried to display the tennis journey showing from entry level of one session a week to multiple sessions with competition. It is completely understandable that all players will be at different levels. We hope this document gives players and parents an understanding of what is required to be able to achieve certain goals if that is what they are interested in. We have seen a real big improvement to the players who play more than once a week. Especially with players who compete regularly as they have a better understanding of the game and how to implement their skills. Extra tennis does not have to be coaching it could just be coming down to play as a family or hit with other players.
