SERVICES

I provide individual and group tennis lessons for children and adults of all ages, who want to learn in an easy, pleasant and professional way the secrets of „the white sport”.

For children of up to 10 years old, I use Tennis 10 Concept, the official method regulated at international level by the International Tennis Federation – ITF, which means adapted tennis to childrens’ age, so that they can descover and learn to play easily, using:

Smaller tennis courts

Smaller and lighter tennis rackets

Tennis net adapted to the players’ height

Slower tennis balls

These features will allow children to serve and to play easily, even to play tennis by score, experiencing, this way, succes and an early attachment to this sport.

Recommended rackets:

Recommended net height:
0,914 m (the “classic” height of the net used for adults).

Red Stage: teaching is oriented towards the child’s motor development and the aquisition of primary technical elements and game tactics, so that the player can rally balls under simplified conditions.

Using different games and exercises, the child gets closer to sports and descovers, in a playful way, a tennis game adapted to his possibilities. The smaller rackets ensure a longer contact with the red ball, which also has a slower speed. During this stage, children will be able to serve and to constantly keep a ball exchange, varying the ball’s speed and direction, to control the game and to make the opponent move on a significantly smaller court.

Orange Stage: the players use a larger tennis court, according to their height.

Teaching is oriented both on improving the accuracy of the already learned shots, and on learning a complete range of shots, including playing at the net, attacking and counter-attacking, and diversifying shots. During this stage, children will be able to identify the strengths and weaknesses both in their own play and in the opponent’s one.

Green Level: enables the game’s technical and tactical development, using a ball which is quicker than the orange one, but, at the same time, is lighter and raises less than an usual one, which is the yellow ball.

Together with the improvement of the game, the player gains certain advanced skills, such as position on the court, hitting the ball uphill and transfering the bodyweight, coping with any game situation.

LEARNING PROCESS – TENNIS 10 CONCEPT

Along the three stages, Red / Orange / Green, during the learning process, children will play by score, tiebreaks of up to 7 or 10 points, and, depending on the progress registered, even short sets of up to 4 games.

At the end of these three stages, the player is able to play tennis using standard balls, the yellow ones, on a standard tennis court

During the tennis lessons, both individual and group ones, all the necessary equipment is provided, such as rackets, tennis balls, minitennis nets and other accessories according to the players’ age and game level.

For intermediate and advanced players, the lessons’ number, length and frequency are determined according to the set goals.
