Super Squad Tournament Program

Super squad is a result of the excellent work performed by tennis coaches at the University Sports & Aquatics Centre. Juniors are invited to form a specialised training program to further enhance their tennis development. The objective of Super Squad is to prepare juniors for state/national point score tennis events, a system used by Tennis Australia.

Emphasis of the squad structure will be to develop specific components of tennis development that juniors require to prepare for tournament play.
These components will include:

  • Technical Development - Developing all aspects of stroke production. Including sound biomechanical groundstrokes, serve & net game. Also emphasis will be placed on balance, footwork & strokes that will be sound under pressure situations.
  • Tactical Development - Developing winning patterns of play, offensive & defensive strategies plus an awareness of how to compete against other players will be the main features of developing juniors tactically.
  • Physical Development - The athletic attributes that tennis players today require are strength, speed, agility, flexibility & endurance.
  • Team Environment - Creating a team dynamic atmosphere based from the values of co-operation, respect, discipline and enjoyment.

The segments of the Super Squad Program include:

Private Coaching

Technical coaching focussing on swing patterns for Serve, Forehand, Backhand & Net Game. Coaches will also focus on tactical instruction involving an integration of physical, psychological & technical aspects of tennis and mentoring for juniors.

Group Training

Super Squad members will train in groups of up to four (maximum). The emphasis on the group training is to bring the technical aspects of private coaching into group situation working on point play strategies.
