High-Performance and Athlete Development Program

Created in 2017, these programs are focused on talented children / young adults who want to follow a competitive path in the sport.

While the focus of the young Athlete Development Program is primarily the correct learning, execution and implementation of various tennis techniques, depending on a target and situation, the High Performance Program is focused more on the tactical, psychological and conditional components needed in our days, in order for a tennis athlete to be successful. Practical (on court exercises) tactic training and theoretical (indoor / video analysis and tactic learning) constitute a big part of this program.

Both programs revolve (with different gravity) around the performance – determining factors involving competition at all stages -before, during and after- with tournament planning and preparation, routines and stress management, zone tennis, resilience and post-match analysis.

Footwork / coordination / condition and fitness training are included in both programs, with differences in the total weekly lessons, exercises and equipment used in our state-of-the-art fitness room, depending on the athletes' ages.

In cooperation with the indoor swimming facilities of ACS Athens, our athletes join on Saturdays a tennis specific swimming session with a professional swimming coach, tailor-made for injury prevention and general body strengthening.
