Modern Tennis Method

The MTM (Modern Tennis Methodology)/ MTI (Modern Tennis International) systems originated from the work of Oscar Wegner.

Oscar Wegner played tennis at the highest level with some of the all time greats of tennis like Rod Laver, Lou Hoad and Pancho Gonzales. When he quit the tour to start teaching the game, he found that tennis was taught differently from the way it was played at the top.

Oscar couldn't believe it, as tennis was essentially an easy game to play and learn but it had been complicated by the 'top' coaches or tennis associations. He developed Modern Tennis Methodology to show how simple the game can be and his success proved he was correct.

His methodology is used in Spain, Argentina, Russia, Brazil, Serbia and all the top tennis nations where they seem to have an endless supply of top players.

World No.1's like Gustavo Kuerten & the Williams sisters used these systems to develop their games.

Tennis is a natural, easy game to learn or play if taught using the MTM/MTI methods. If you would like to experience this revolutionary approach to playing tennis at Stratford Park  contact Ioan Evans  on 07870620488 / tennisplusacademy@gmail.com
