Creating a successful junior coaching pathway is more than just teaching things like movement, preparation, recovery and consistency (although they're pretty important too). It's also about creating a really positive learning environment and developing each player individually so that they can reach their potential.  

 

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, the number of players in our matchplay 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. 

​

In other words, creating a dynamic coaching-to-club connection.
