Want to join our elite academy?
Here at Bodyswot Tennis we’re passionate about seeing our students’ progress and we are proud to say that we have encouraged and nurtured some very talented tennis players over the years, which inspired us to create our very own London tennis academy.
Bodyswot Tennis Academy is aimed at children and young adults aged 6 to 18 who demonstrate a real talent and the same passion for tennis that all our coaches share. Membership is by invitation only and applicants are required to undertake a preliminary assessment with a coach; only those who show raw talent, motivation and a genuine desire to work hard as part of a team are invited to join.
Our London tennis academy operates three groups, based on age and ability:
Stage 1: Performance Squad (for ages 6 to 10)
We train at an age-appropriate level and ask for a minimum commitment of one group session and one private lesson per week, competing in one tournament a month. The children are taught the fundamentals of technical and tactical skills, movement patterns and fitness requirements, using:
- Appropriate speed tennis balls
- Smaller courts (where necessary)
- Game based training
Stages 2 and 3: Performance Squad (for ages 11 to 15 and 16 to 18)
Players work on techniques, tactics and movement patterns. Personal training is incorporated into sessions to develop physical strength and tennis-specific skills. Sessions are for developing competitive players and training is rigorous and demanding. A typical session will incorporate:
- High intensity baseline drills is
- Tennis serve and returns & Video analysis
- Game situation drills
- Volley and net work
