WHAT IS THE YARRA TENNIS JUNIOR PATHWAY?

Copy of IMG_0577.JPG.jpg

We have developed a junior coaching pathway that is much more than just teaching things like movement, preparation, recovery and consistency (although those things are undeniably important).  Our pathway (and what sets Yarra Tennis apart) is the focus on creating a positive learning environment and putting in place a system with a balance between learning and competing.  

 

This been the Yarra Tennis coaching philosophy for over 20 years at Eaglemont Tennis Club  - a focus on providing a comprehensive opportunity for children of any age and standard to start to learn the skills of the sport, and integrating this with appropriate competitive playing opportunities at Eaglemont Tennis Club.

 

And the numbers speak for themselves - the number of junior players who represent Eaglemont in ERT competition, the number of players in our Friday Night Smash program, the number of players who go onto playing pennant at the highest level, and the players who have gone on to play at the international level. 

​

YTC stands for more than Yarra Tennis Coaching - it stands for Yarra Tennis Community.
