ACE Tennis Player Development Path



ACE Tennis Player Development Path

ACE Tennis Junior programs are structured in a competitive and recreational stream. This will provide parents, players and coaches assistance in choosing the right program for all players depending on their level of play, age and commitment.

The ACE Tennis High Performance Programs are designed while respecting player’s needs at different stages of their development. The easiest way of describing these needs is: Quality and Quantity.

All High Performance Programs must address the requirements of Quality which are:
1.    Fully integrated programs dealing with the physical, mental, intellectual component of player development as well as the technical and tactical aspect
2.    Programs designed and applied in a progressive systematic manner. In other words year after year, layers of information is distributed in the most efficient manner to build long term benefits
3.    Program curriculum applied by qualified, committed personnel

All High Performance programs must address the requirements of Quantity for various stages of player development: This Quantity component refers to:
1.    Volume of hours per week training on court
2.    Volume of hours per week training off court
3.    Volume of matches and competition

As a result, to be truly involved in our High Performance Programs and for the players to receive full benefit requires long term commitment from parents and players. This commitment can be seen in the time spent in the training for the sport, the financial support and flexibility in the educational system [please note that this in no way deters from the priority accorded to education].

The ACE Tennis Progressive Programs are designed to provide quality formation for players wanting to learn the game of a lifetime. These programs do not require the time commitment of the competitive programs and as such are easier to commit to.

All Progressive programs address the requirement of Quality through:
1. Fully integrated programs dealing with the technical and tactical aspect
2. Programs designed and applied in a progressive systematic manner
3. Program curriculum applied by qualified, committed personnel

Players in the Progressive Programs, especially the younger ones, often find a desire to switch to more competitive programs, once they have acquired the love of the sport.
