    Smart junior training: Fit, Fun & Focus in 45–90 minutes

    More training isn't always better. Better training is better: structure, focus, games, recovery.

    A common junior trap: too much 'hit harder' and too little 'build smarter'. We train quality per minute. Explore our juniors programme or learn why tennis is a team sport too.

    1) Fit (10–20 min)

    Start with physical preparation.

    • Deceleration and turning
    • Split-step timing
    • Short sprints + recovery

    2) Focus (20–40 min)

    One technical theme plus one game situation.

    • Example: forehand with height + 'first ball deep'
    • Example: return target + 'first two shots plan'

    3) Fun (10–20 min)

    Scoring games create real pressure—and real focus.

    • '3 points in a row' challenge
    • 'You only score with a deep ball' game

    4) Recovery (5–10 min)

    Close with rest and reflection.

    • Cooldown + hydration
    • Quick review: what worked, what will I repeat?

    Key takeaways

    • Structure builds consistency
    • Games make practice match-real
    • Recovery enables progress
