The coaching team at Tennis Heaton have created a series of videos that will help you structure your practice at home and have lots of fun in the process. We understand this is a very challenging time for everyone and we want to offer some resources to help all the children on the programme focus on what they can control to stay fit and active and improve their skills along the way in preparation for when we return to tennis.
Home challenge
The home challenge videos include a physical challenge, a skill challenge with three progressions to allow for a range of skill levels and a technical challenge. We highly recommend completing each challenge for three to four minutes three times per week to really accelerate each child’s improvement. It would be great if parents and or siblings get involved with the challenges as some of the skills will require a partner or supervision to complete.
Please do message the coaches with video clips of you or your child performing the challenges and we will offer awards and certificates to children who stick with the programme for the five weeks and who send in videos each week. Please see the Home Challenge week 1 video below:
