🧠 The classroom is the court 🎾
As we prepare to wrap up this year’s World Tennis National Level 1 Coaching Course, our coaches have been diving deep into the Four Individual Tactical Situations in Tennis that form the backbone of intelligent tennis coaching 💪

🔒Closed Situation, 🔄Semi-Open Situation, 🔓Open Situation, 🎾Serve and Volley Situation.

Understanding these four situations is the foundation of intelligent tennis coaching, knowing not just HOW to teach a shot but WHEN and WHY 🧠🎾

Better coaches. Better players. Better Nigerian tennis 🇳🇬
