LIONS TENNIS ACADEMY

*The Lions Tennis Program is currently ONLY a Holiday Camp program for students from Stamford American International School, due to the current MOE/CPE guidelines.*

The Lions Tennis Academy provides top quality tennis provision and offers participants the opportunity to become the best they can be.

Our tennis program is aimed at the long-term development of each player's skills with the appropriate learning stage. Our tennis academy has two full-time staff professional tennis coaches, our tennis program ranges from cubs (beginners) through to highly competitive teams using Stamford American International School's 2 purpose-built tennis courts. 

Academy pathway:

Lion Cubs (Ages 6-9): An introduction to tennis focusing on the basics of the game. We emphasize building passion at this age through constantly engaging students in fun-filled activities, incorporating good movement and coordination exercises. Modified balls and courts are used to give the students age-appropriate apparatus and allow them greater success whilst simulating the feeling and skills of adult tennis.

Challengers (Ages 9-12): A focus on building a strong foundation of footwork and stroke production. Volley, smashes and serves will be covered in addition to refining basic groundstrokes. The participants will also take part in many tennis challenges and have lots of fun through playing, learning and competition.

Future Stars (Ages 12-16): Enhancing improving players' games by introducing placement and spin, emphasizing consistency, and introducing basic tactics through simplified point play and games. This of course includes a continual improvement of strokes and footwork.

Junior Stars (Ages 14-18): A focus on small details, as players transform from a ball-striker to a tennis player. Emphasizing in-depth analysis and understanding of court positioning, phases of the game, and proper shot selection. An introduction to all-important mental and emotional aspects of the game of tennis as well as tennis-specific strength, speed, agility and endurance conditioning.
