ACERS TOTS (Red Ball)

MOVE | EXPLORE | HAVE FUN

Tots are parent participation classes that are packed with fun activities designed to give juniors a great start on their tennis journey. Activities are turned into games where everyone has a smile on their face and learns along the way!

The focus is on creating an environment where children can build up their experience of moving and coordinating their body in different ways. As they gain experience and confidence, we introduce more-tennis specific games so they gradually learn how to use a small racket and perform simple tennis shots in preparation for the Acerange sessions. This supports their future development in all sports.

Along with the physical development, we also consider it important to start training children to get used to listening, sharing and following a simple demonstration. We understand it is early beginnings for them and so we take a gentle but consistent approach with this so we can develop good habits over time.

Above all we understand that how we interact and communicate with juniors is even more important than what we actually do. So, as coaches, we aim to be a fun and engaging personality that can connect with children on their level.

AGES RANGE FROM 3-6 YEARS. 

ACES CLASS

ENJOY | LEARN | PRACTICE |

Our Aces Programme caters for less experienced players and players who have graduated from the Acer Tots class. This class is designed to introduce players to competition, work on technique a little more in depth and improve their overall game. We encourage more match-play and fitness during the sessions and ensure that players understand why, what and when in competing..

The aim of the Acerange class is to promote the game as competition is fun, tennis is healthy and tennis is a sport for all, through 3 key messages:

Tennis competition is fun...

formats & scoring systems exist to suit all lifestyles

Tennis is healthy...

when players serve, rally and score; research supports this

Tennis is a sport for all...

everyone who can serve, rally and score should have a rating

The Rangers always seem ready and train twice weekly, match-play once every month.

AGES RANGE FROM 6-8 YEARS
