Green PRO
Age 9-10
At the end of this stage, some of the juniors begin to show a preference for tennis as their sport of choice.
These juniors have developed a competitive drive with their tennis. They are starting to compete on a regular basis and are willing to work on their fundamentals to prepare them for yellow ball transition.
Group sessions form the second stepping stone in our Player Competitive Pathway. More variables, higher intensity, more stress and a need for faster thinking are all introduced here with less coach involvement, more self-exploration and team building. Keystone performance strengths will be introduced here throughout the year.
