CAMP PROGRAM

COACHING

The coaching team is led by former ATP and WTA professionals who have designed the programme to work on all aspects of the game and get the best out of every player. Programmes for developing and advanced players are designed to simulate an elite training environment. Players are assessed and grouped by ability on the first day. They then work in groups of 6 or less per coach. Sessions focus on skills such as spin, shot selection, power and agility, challenging players technically, tactically and physically.

Supporting the on-court training is a series of workshops designed to develop players’ psychology and all-round athleticism. Topics such as fitness, nutrition and hydration, physiology and psychology, tactics and match preparation.
