Tennis Athlete

We have developed a tennis specific battery of tests which accurately measure speed, agility/change of direction, upper body, trunk and leg power, Cardiovascular conditioning and Core stability. From this data we are able to easily identify what area’s an athletes needs improvement to progress in their career.

This entails our strength and conditioning coaches evaluating the athletes testing results and programming an individualised strength and conditioning program for them. This can entail weekly one on one sessions with the strength and conditioning coaches in the gym or on court, or monthly appointments to set up, review and progress the athletes through their program. Regular testing is completed to monitor the athletes progress and improvements.

Due to the physical requirements of tennis at an elite level, injury risk in junior athletes is elevated.

Our beliefs are:
1. 11-15 Are crucial years of development for tennis players physically, athletically, psychologically and tactically.

2. Succumbing to injuries during these years can be detrimental to their advancement and can limit their ability to gain experiences that help make them the best player they can be.

3. Adolescents need to remain injury free and keep competing during these years to ensure optimal chances for experience in match play and game development.
