JUNIOR SQUAD COACHING PROGRAM (AGES 12-16, includes matchplay)
A Squad coaching program needs to be intensive, challenging and a place where every shot is practised under pressure.
Because that's what playing a match is like.
​
​
The Junior Squad program is suitable for players ranging of competition standard ages 12+. The squad format consists of a warmup, rallying consistency, serving and returning, and competitive singles and doubles drills (as well as working on and perfecting technique).
​
Players in this program are eligible to participate in the Sunday morning matchplay program every Sunday morning during the school term (11 am - 12 noon).

SQUAD PROGRAM FAQ'S
What are the skills that players will learn in a squad environment?
The squad program consists of a footwork and movement warmup, followed by crosscourt rallying drills designed to improve consistency and control, before progressing to more competitive drills where players compete against and with each other. These drills simulate match conditions and serving and returning situations which players will utilise when playing competitively.
