Progressive Tennis at ORC
A mini-revolution is brewing in North America. The approach is called “Progressive Tennis.” Imported from European countries that have a successful record of producing players, Progressive Tennis uses a systematic progression of court sizes, balls, and racquets to scale the game down to an appropriate level for 5-10 year olds.
Modified racquets and balls are not new. The equipment has been around for awhile as the “graduated length” concept. Coaches have used bits and pieces for years seeing the advantage from the perspective of success, fun and safety. The difference this time is that all these elements have been brought together in a much more systematic way.
The power of the progressive tennis system is that it allows players to learn to play tennis quickly and successfully. Each stage not only has specific equipment to aid success, but particular skills to develop as well. In Progressive Tennis, the philosophy is that tennis is a great, fun game. The quicker and more skillfully a player can play, the more fun it is.
The coach’s job is to get them to play, and help them to play better.
