Progressive Tennis – Innovation in Junior Development
Progressive Tennis is a program for 5-9 year
olds which allows young players to learn and
play the game more quickly, efficiently and
successfully, using a systematic progression of
court sizes, balls, and racquets, to scale the
game down to an appropriate level.
The concept has been imported from European
countries such as France and Belgium where it
was used to successfully develop players like
Justine Henin-Hardenne and Olivier Rochus.
In 2007, Tennis Manitoba will be working with
member clubs to introduce the Progressive Tennis
program, which will include junior tournaments
that offer Progressive Tennis events.
