Smith's Ace Squad (SAS Tennis) provides competitive match practice & coaching for 10 & under players For more information go to www.itc-tennis.com
International Travelling Squad is a more affordable way to train & compete in tournaments all around the world with an experienced coach. In 2010 I set up International Travelling Coach to make it easier and more affordable for players to travel to international tournaments with an experienced travelling tennis coach and now I have expanded that idea to include a training programme for younger players.

It’s hard for juniors to call lines when the ball is very close and is moving fast. Here’s a call from the today …
Pic 1 - Hawkeye calls it in
Pic 2 - the live view shows the ball compresses on the court with quite a gap after the baseline
Pic 3 - However, did it first touch the baseline here?!
Did the technology fail us here?
So … is it IN or OUT?

A couple of extracts from an article about junior player development in football.
Tennis is so similar; players thinking they’ve made it because they’re selected to be part of an ‘RPDC’ or on a ‘National Pathway’ list and parents thinking they know more than coaches who have been developing players for 20+ years!

This is going to be a superb series of interactive webinars that will help tennis parents at any stage of the tennis pathway.
There is very little out there for tennis parents and I believe that this kind of insight and support is vital to help develop us as tennis parents.

A big thank you to and my former coach, Mike Barrell, for an extremely beneficial webinar for tennis parents.
As a tennis parent myself I’ve seen how little support there is for us and how the journey through the different ages and stages can be a minefield.
Judy and Mike’s ‘Parent’s Pack’ series will not only give parents an insight into the tennis journey but they will also answer any questions you might have.
If you missed tonight’s introduction there is another one this Sunday and then the series starts on the 9th January.
