Tennis Programme Kicks Off at Epsom with Exciting Developments

We are thrilled to announce the start of our tennis programme for the new term at Epsom, and it’s already shaping up to be an exciting and productive year. We have hit the ground running with a number of key initiatives aimed at ensuring our players receive top-level training and support in every aspect of their development, both on and off the court.

Fitness Training with an International Expert

We were fortunate to host a fitness trainer from the renowned MTA in Nice, France, who conducted comprehensive fitness tests with most of our players. These assessments are crucial in helping us tailor training regimes for each individual, ensuring that they are in peak physical condition to perform at their best. The expertise brought in from MTA is just the beginning of our commitment to integrating global standards of athletic excellence into our programme.

Parent-Coach Sessions for Holistic Planning

An essential part of our approach is collaboration with parents, as their involvement is critical to the success of our young athletes. Recently, we held a session with both parents and coaches where we outlined our vision and plan for the year. During this meeting, we introduced a focused strategy for player development, which includes assigning specific coaches to individual players. This approach allows for more personalised attention, ensuring that each child gets the guidance they need to improve their game.

Nutritionist Talks and Individualised Monitoring

In addition to physical fitness, we recognise the importance of nutrition in an athlete’s success. To that end, we had our nutritionist speak to parents, players, and coaches about the role of proper diet and nutrition in sports performance. This session was enlightening and helped lay the foundation for a holistic approach to player development.

Our nutritionist has also begun working one-on-one with selected players as part of an enrichment program designed to monitor their body composition and nutrient intake over the coming months. This individualized attention will help our players optimise their health and ensure that their diets are aligned with the demands of high-level tennis training.

Plans for National and International Tournaments

Looking ahead, we already have exciting plans to send our players to national and international tournaments in the coming months. This opportunity will give them valuable experience competing at higher levels, helping them grow in confidence and skill. Both the players and coaches are eagerly anticipating these competitions, as they represent a significant step forward in the players’ development and exposure on the global tennis stage.

Looking Ahead

With a clear plan and the support of top professionals, we are confident that this year will be a transformative one for our tennis programme at Epsom. We are committed to nurturing the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of our players, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and knowledge to excel both on and off the court.

We look forward to seeing how our young athletes progress and are excited about the journey ahead!
