Smash Tennis Academy: An innovative and fun approach to learn and progress!
At Smash Tennis Academy, we have developed a unique teaching concept designed to be more adapted, easier, more fun and more effective. Our priority? The joy of learning through play!
Motor education: the first step towards tennis
Before handling a racket, you need to master your body! Our young players start with motor education through fun and adapted activities:
- ✓Getting familiar with racket and ball
- ✓Developing skill and coordination
- ✓Learning to send and receive a ball
- ✓Discovering partner and opponent concepts
Mon Tennis Cooleurs: a progressive and adapted method
A child is not a miniature adult! Their learning must be adapted to their physical and visual abilities.
Tennis Cooleurs is a structured teaching programme that facilitates learning for all ages and levels. Goal? Learn better, faster and with fun!
Progressive courts for natural development:
- White & Blue → Baby tennis
- Red → Mini tennis 12m
- Orange → Mini tennis 18m
- Green → Mid tennis 21m
- Yellow → Traditional court 24m
Adapted equipment for optimal learning:
- Size-adapted rackets to the court, not to age
- Progressive balls: slow and light for more control and sensation
4 pillars for effective learning
1. Success & Progress: Precision and Speed
Precision promotes immediate success, and speed reflects progress made.
2. The Game Aspect: Playing the width
By playing on adapted courts, children develop shot accuracy, court vision, coordination and skill.
3. The Visual Aspect: The Eye at the heart of the game
Tennis begins with reading the ball's trajectory! Our specific exercises develop this essential ability.
4. The Technical Aspect: The Strike
5 secrets for an effective strike: hit the ball in front, keep a simple movement, place the foot correctly, hold the racket properly, adopt the right grip.
An optimised organisation for more practice
With Mon Tennis Cooleurs, each child hits on average 200 times per hour, that's 4 times more than a classic training session!
