On-court session (2 hours 30 minutes)
The on-court session will focus on technical development with junior players, primarily within the red and orange stages. By the end of the session, coaches will have a better understanding of how to optimise long-term technical development, ensuring technique does not limit future potential and always integrates closely with desired tactical outcomes and playing the game of tennis.
Off-court session (1 hour)
The off-court session will give coaches time to connect, share experiences, and explore the challenges of creating a sustainable programme supported by a robust workforce pipeline.
The overall duration of this event is 4 hours (2 hours 30 minutes on-court, 30 minutes networking, and 1 hour off-court).
