Pro Academy.

Introducing our high-intensity performance academy tailored for advanced junior players, specifically those competing regularly at regional and national level. For both 12U and 15U categories, the academy offers dedicated programs that embody the intensity typically associated with elite players.

Each day begins with a one-hour session that includes a blend of strength and conditioning activities and court side tutorials, encompassing psychology, nutrition, organisation, and injury prevention. The strength and conditioning segment concentrates on improving footwork patterns, coordination, balance, and core strength. Subsequently, a demanding 2-hour clay court session is conducted, with a comprehensive focus on technique and match tactics, including a strong emphasis on fundamental aspects such as footwork, particularly the art of sliding on clay courts, which provides a unique advantage not readily available elsewhere.

Players are coached intensively to develop groundstroke consistency, ensuring precision in shot placement, depth, and net clearance. Additionally, first serve and return techniques are honed for maximum accuracy and effectiveness. The academy's training also encompasses the critical aspects of attack and defence strategies, preparing players to seize opportunities and defend against opponents' advances. Moreover, players learn the nuances of changing direction swiftly, maintaining consistency, and cultivating court awareness to dominate their matches. Throughout they will be joined by players from our resident academy, gaining invaluable experience and exposure to a wide range of playing styles, all on world-class clay courts.

Tuesday afternoon is a two-hour master class with an intensive focus on refining specific stroke mechanics.

Thursday afternoon is all about coming together as a team! Our match play competition, the standout of the day, has players joining forces for a thrilling mini Davis Cup-style event. Don't miss this extra dose of fun and teamwork during this additional afternoon session!

Wrapping up the week, Friday presents the chance for select players to participate in our 7:00 PM exhibition match.
